The Bikpela Haus is a luxury 4 bedroom dwelling situated at the top of a steep, west-facing block facing Port Moresby Harbour - overlooking a former cargo terminal and capturing views to the Coral Sea beyond. The last addition of 3 structures on the site and currently under construction, the house continues a research trajectory into the creation of bespoke forms through computational design techniques and rapid prototyping fabrication coupled with on-site assembly. Several custom components of the project are tested, refined, and manufactured by Studio Workshop in the Gold Coast, including stairs, internal joinery, the external wrapper, and then shipped to PNG for implementation. Bikpela Haus has been developed for an expatriate client who has lived in PNG for three decades, and who is overseeing construction in collaboration with a local builder and certifying engineer.
