Our DESIGNS
PAGE BEING UPDATED
Below is a selection of our own tiny house designs. Over the coming weeks we will update all our current models to have more details on each one.
Single level, two storey, with or without wheels, mobile or on foundations? How many bedrooms and other rooms? What are your expectations from Tiny Home living? We offer standard designs that you can customize to suit your needs and the looks you want to achieve. All our homes fall within the government’s proposed “Granny Flat” guidelines for 2025, not requiring building or resource consent (conditions apply).
We specialize in designing houses for the South Island, New Zealand. This is reflected in our choice of materials for insulation values, snow, wind, and earthquake loadings, durability in our climatic conditions, sun and sea spray exposure, transportability on our roads etc. We meet the New Zealand Building Code and employ qualified tradespeople.
Together, we create something special.

The elevated roofline enhances the height of this space, creating a wonderfully roomy atmosphere. Additionally, a spacious multi-functional loft can be conveniently accessed via a ladder or stairs. This versatile loft can accommodate two queen size beds or serve as storage, a TV lounge, a children's room, and more.
The Awaroa is an ideal choice for individuals or couples seeking the comfort of a ground-level bedroom while desiring extra space for hosting friends, accommodating family members, and storing belongings.
