The home is designed so it can be constructed solo, by most able-bodied people.
At the beginning of last year, Tasmanian architect Jiri Lev was a novice builder, with no hands-on experience in construction.
"Obviously, it's an advantage to be an architect in terms of knowing the design side of things, and the regulations, but I didn't know anything about building," Lev said.The Aussies buying abandoned houses in Japan The traditional structure of Lev's "Tasmanian Homestead" avoids some design methods used in modern construction, such as roof trusses, which require a crane and multiple people, Lev said.
Lev said he used online resources such as YouTube to research how each step of the building process was done. The Tasmania Homestead design minimises the use of chemicals and the wood on the walls is left untreated. Natural oils are used to prevent staining on the hardwood floors. "It's suitable for people who might have bought a cheap block of land because they can't afford to live in town."Lev said he was passionate about traditional, beautifully-proportioned homes, and it was an easy decision to make his plans accessible and open source.
