Are You Interested In The Benefits Of Transportable Tiny Prefab Homes in NZ?

Modern society has brought increasing isolation and loneliness. Not to mention the continued destruction of nature and reliance on pollutants to keep us going. Post-Covid, lockdowns and restrictions on movement, people have begun to reassess just what’s important to them.

Overwhelmingly, people want to lower their carbon footprint - and reliance on fuels that are destroying the planet. Our EcoPods are perfect for the post-Covid zeitgeist. With these prefab homes in NZ, you have the option of living peacefully with nature. Owning a traditional home is losing popularity as prices far outpace development. Our tiny prefab homes are also available in Whangarei and many don’t need such large homes and would prefer to live active lifestyles outdoors and in their communities. .

Transportable tiny homes in NZ require only a small area of land for you to place your new home. You can choose to be closer to family, closer to nature or go off-grid altogether all while complying with building regulations..

And because they are transportable, moving house literally means moving house. Our prefab EcoPods use screws to hold them to the land, creating as little disturbance as possible for the local wildlife. If you wish to transport your house across the country, you can unscrew the EcoPod and relocate.

Why is there a Demand for Small Homes in NZ?

The idea that big is necessarily beautiful is outdated in this day and age. You know the new mottos:

Less is more; reuse, repurpose, recycle; conserve the world’s resources. Having a small home is now the responsible thing to do and a sign of a forward-thinking mind.

It makes sense in a lot of ways, from economic considerations to physical ones. Less space means less to heat or cool, so lower fuel bills – and the way fuel is going, we all need help with that. There’s less to clean, so you don’t have so much trekking from one part to another. All these years we’ve been making work for ourselves without even thinking of it, but finally, the penny has dropped.

Tiny homes in New Zealand are becoming more popular and we at Ecopod Concepts are proud to be a part of this new movement. It’s all a question of mindset, rejecting the old values of conspicuous consumption and bragging about expensive big houses, oversized petrol-thirsty cars, and flying exotic foods into the country when there are perfectly good local alternatives. Old-fashioned ideas sometimes outstay their welcome and the small homes NZ needs are right here, waiting for you.

How Sustainable Are The Transportable Tiny Homes In NZ?

Sustainability a central value and mission of EcoPod. We have designed the process of building a new EcoPod to ensure minimum wastage. Every effort is made to ensure your new prefab tiny home in NZ fits perfectly into the new location with as little disturbance to the environment as possible.

Traditional home building causes untold damage to the surrounding area. And materials used are often selected for their cheapness rather than their efficiency and durability.

At Ecopods, we use New Zealand pine, from renewable sources to build transportable tiny homes in NZ. We also offer solar power , water and wastewater systems which enable you to live anywhere you want with your own off-grid and renewable water and energy harvesting.

EcoPod homes are built in a centralised production facility, ensuring waste from one project has a chance to be reused in the next. We never throw anything away with the potential for reuse!

Due to the quality of materials used, these homes are an amazing long-term investment and can be used for a wide variety of purposes. Our most popular homes range from 20sqm to 120sqm. Some wish to use the EcoPod as an extension to a traditional home, whilst others enjoy being surrounded by nature and living in a home that’s no bigger or smaller than they need.

    MATT, HANNAH & MIA (COROMANDEL)

    We did a lot of research on transportable baches and couldn't beat Eco Pods for style, craftsmanship and price. We worked with Steve and co to shape a pod that was perfect for our section! It was great to sit down with the team and plan everything from the layout, aluminium joinery, to little things like the location of power points and kitchen shelving. Our L pod was delivered just in time for a big family Christmas at the beach and now we're super keen to get the second pod underway! 

    JOHN, SENIOR ENGINEER, CHESTER

    It has been a pleasure dealing with Steve and the Ecopod's crew over the past months and if I hear of other projects I will point them in your direction Senior Engineer responsible for Kumeu Arts Center Development
