Have you ever dreamed of a home that’s not just beautiful but also energy-efficient, healthy, and cost-effective? That’s exactly what we’ve created with ecobode transportables—high-performance, sustainable homes that give you the flexibility to live the way you want. Whether you need a home office, a guest retreat, an Airbnb rental, or a full-time residence, there’s an ecobode transportable that’s perfect for you.

Built to Perform

At the heart of every ecobode transportable is Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) technology. We’ve been building high-performance, energy-efficient homes with SIPs since 2015, and we’ve seen firsthand how they outperform traditional timber framing. SIPs provide superior insulation, airtightness, and strength, ensuring your home stays warm in winter, cool in summer, and comfortable all year round. Paired with high-performance windows and a carefully designed ventilation system, you’ll enjoy stable indoor temperatures without the hefty power bills.

We also prioritize the use of eco-friendly materials to enhance the sustainability and health benefits of our homes:

Godfrey Hirst Wool Carpet: Wool is a natural, renewable, and biodegradable fibre. Godfrey Hirst's wool carpets not only offer luxurious comfort but also act as natural insulators, helping to regulate indoor temperatures.

Resene's Low VOC Paints: Our homes are finished with Resene's low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paints, which contribute to better indoor air quality and reduce environmental impact. These paints are also Environmental Choice-approved, reflecting their eco-friendly credentials.

uPVC Joinery: We use uPVC for window joinery due to its excellent thermal performance and durability, enhancing the overall energy efficiency of our homes.

ColorSteel Maxam ST7 Roofing & Cladding: Our roofing and cladding material is sourced from ColorSteel, known for its durability and energy efficiency, providing long-lasting protection while minimizing heat absorption.

Every ecobode transportable is built to exceed New Zealand’s required building standards, ensuring durability, safety, and top-tier performance in all conditions.

Why Our Clients Love Our Homes

1. Energy-Efficiency You Can Feel

We've witnessed just how much energy-efficient homes can transform everyday living. One of our clients used to pay $4,330 per year in energy bills for their standard timber-framed 120 sq/m home. After moving into their 150.73 sq/m Green Abode home, their annual bill dropped to just $2,400 in 2024. That’s a huge saving, proving that ecobode homes don’t just perform well—they make a real difference in your budget and your comfort!

2. Sustainable & Healthy Living

Your home should be a place where you feel good—physically and mentally. With airtight construction and smart ventilation systems, ecobode transportables avoid the common issues of dampness, mould, and condensation that plague many New Zealand homes. One of our clients, Ingrid, recently told us how surprised she was by the lack of dust in her Green Abode home compared to her old house! That’s the power of well-designed, sustainable living.

3. Versatile for Every Need

One of the best things about ecobode transportables is their flexibility. Whether you’re looking for a home office, granny flat, or guest accommodation, there’s a model to fit your needs. The eco studio, for example, is perfect for remote workers who want a quiet, energy-efficient workspace, while our larger models can serve as full-time residences for couples or families.

4. Cost-Effective & Quick to Install

Traditional builds can take months with unpredictable costs along the way. Our ecobodes are built off-site, meaning no weather delays and no budget surprises. Once ready, your home is delivered in a fraction of the time of a conventional home, so you can move in and start enjoying your new space sooner.
