Alt.Form Chosen to Deliver Off-Grid Alpine Development in Jindabyne
Alt.Form is proud to announce its appointment as delivery partner for a new eco-retreat in Jindabyne—featuring four high-performance alpine cabins, now in detailed design.
Built for snow, wind and sub-zero conditions, this project shows how Alt.Form’s kit-of-parts system can deliver rapid, resilient structures tailored for the Australian alpine environment.
Fit for All Conditions
Jindabyne’s location demands a building solution that can withstand extreme weather while maintaining maximum thermal performance.
Alt.Form’s prefabricated panel system is engineered for high performance and is airtight, highly insulated, engineered for structural strength and assembled rapidly on-site with minimal machinery.
This approach allows for a significantly reduced construction timeline—critical in alpine environments where short build windows and logistical constraints can otherwise cause delays.
Why Alt.Form?
“We chose Alt.Form for our eco-tourism cabins because their innovative approach combines the advantages of offsite fabrication and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), without the usual challenges of transport logistics or the need for heavy on-site machinery. Drawing on years of experience in delivering complex building façade projects, Alt.Form has brought a fresh and effective solution to the housing market,” says Daniel Graham, client and Design Director.
“Their unique Kit of Parts (KoP) system exceeds National Construction Code (NCC) requirements and aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability—as a 100% off-grid eco-tourism development, this was a non-negotiable for us,” he adds.
Design Freedom, Delivered
Alt.Form provides a flexible yet controlled design approach, ensuring that the cabins reflect a refined aesthetic while maintaining strict performance metrics. The 260mm grid overlay and prefabricated precision of the Alt.Form system give designers unparalleled confidence in build accuracy and material efficiency.
“Alt.Form has simplified the process of designing and supplying the entire building envelope, including all structural components. At the same time, they’ve given us the flexibility to select both internal and external finishes to suit our specific design and operational needs. Their solution has taken the complexity out of the build and allowed us to focus on creating a truly sustainable guest experience,” says Daniel Graham, client and Design Director.
The Alt.Form Difference
This project underscores Alt.Form’s ability to execute architecturally refined, high-performance builds with streamlined delivery, meeting the exacting standards of design professionals and alpine environments alike. Contact us to learn more.
