The Aussie Solution for Extreme Weather
Explore the Warrego Typhoon-Proof Bungalow, an innovative cyclone-resistant home designed around an external structural exoskeleton. Learn how the system connects the roof, walls and concrete foundation to create a strong, durable and practical home for extreme-weather regions.
The Warrego is a practical, single-storey bungalow designed to provide greater protection against typhoons, cyclones and other extreme weather.
Its strength comes from a robust external exoskeleton that completely surrounds the bungalow, forming a protective outer structure that ties the walls, roof and concrete foundation together. Individual reinforced wall panels are securely attached to the hardwood beams supported by the exoskeleton posts.
A streamlined hip roof, without vulnerable overhanging eaves, further reduces the risk of wind damage. Heavy-duty steel brackets firmly connect the roof structure to the upper exoskeleton beam, creating a continuous structural connection from the roof to the concrete foundation.
Designed for straightforward construction, the Warrego provides a strong, durable and comfortable home for communities in cyclone-prone regions.
