FORTIS Conjola
The Conjola features general resilience to extreme weather and disasters including bushfire sites up to BAL 40, suiting the majority of Australian locations.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the simple modular layout of the Conjola allows it to adapt to different contexts, such as very steep sites and suburban two- storey settings (See images). Large openings to the North and East emphasise light, breezes and connection to nature.

FORTIS Yerriyong
Yerriyong is a FORTIS Bushfire BAL FZ design which includes insulated shutters and set-back glazing. The Yerriyong is ‘see-through’ with glazing on two sides to maximise light and views through the house to the surrounding landscape. The shutters can be remotely opened and closed via an app and have a manual override to ensure they can be operated in an emergency should the motorised function fail.
This design can be built in stages, the first stage is a self-contained recovery pod with a bedroom, ensuite and kitchenette.
