We acknowledge Traditional Custodians of Country on this land called Australia. Their connectivity and relationship with Grandfather Sun, Grandmother Moon, Father Sky and Mother Earth. We respect the Elders and their culture. We carry this responsibility to the future.
energy architecture for community & planet
It’s reported that construction is responsible for up to 40% of the world’s carbon emissions. OM1 reduces inefficiencies in the building processes. We offer consumers a planet-friendly, architecturally designed, site-conscious build. The Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) construction method offers best-practice sustainability. A self-bracing, flexible structural system has been developed that adapts to site climate and spatial requirements. Fitout is pre-fabricated and efficient appliances can be supplied. OM1 can be customised as required.
