Climate-Resilient Housing Systems for a Changing World
Deployable, cyclone-resistant modular housing designed for disaster recovery, remote communities, and scalable developments — powered by advanced Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) technology.
Barkly Housing Systems — Enabled by SipsPacific
The Housing Gap is Accelerating
Across the Pacific and cyclone-prone regions worldwide, communities face a growing shortage of resilient, affordable housing. Traditional construction is too slow, labour-intensive, and vulnerable to extreme weather.
Disaster recovery, remote development, and social housing now require a different approach — one designed for speed, durability, and deployment at scale.
Barkly Rapid Deploy Housing System
Barkly is an integrated modular housing platform engineered for rapid deployment in demanding environments. The system combines five core components working seamlessly together to deliver climate-resilient, affordable housing solutions.

Northwest Workforce Transition Village
Gudithulla Housing is establishing a 50-bed Indigenous workforce development hub in Mount Isa–Cloncurry, North West Queensland, supporting employment pathways for remote Indigenous workers into regional infrastructure and mining projects.
The village features 50 Barkly sleeping units, shared ablation facilities, training classrooms, and communal spaces on a 1.5–2 hectare site. Participants complete a 20-week residential readiness program covering workplace safety, life skills, and job preparation before transitioning into employment.
This project demonstrates how modular construction enables rapid deployment of community-scale facilities supporting Indigenous employment and economic participation.
