Premium POD 94sqm
Exterior
Interior
This 94sqm premium living pod is currently the most highly specc’ed in the range.
It offers two large double bedrooms with generous wardrobes; plus a master king sized bedroom with separate ensuite; walk-in shower; and walk-in wardrobe. Who has ever heard of such things in a "tiny home"?
​
The family bathroom has facility for a laundry are if required. Plus separate toilet. Unlike any other mobile style home; this unit boasts huge storage areas; including a separate walk-in storage room in addition to generous cupboards throughout the pod.
​
The level of quality and forethought gone into this unit will only be appreciated when seen. From the higher stud height that exudes a sense of space; to the flow of light and air; to the “kiwi fauna” highlights through the unit – you will be amazed that this is actually a trailer-based home.
NOTE: all these pods are classified as movable units; necessary to meet stringent Council rules in most parts of NZ. As such; we need to make some concessions. These are not “permanent buildings” and specifications may vary across NZ to meet local Council requirements. Proponents of small/tiny homes will be well aware that the NZ Government and local Councils are making life for us as difficult as possible; despite the fact we are in the midst of a housing crisis that the Government appears unable to address. With the failure of KiwiBuild and other government programs; it is suggested that this concept is what they should be pushing; not pushing against! Time will tell if we can influence the bureaucrats that this is what We The People want!
