Design your ideal studio
Our studio options, with or without a kitchen, are a perfect tiny home to use for short term rental or as a granny flat. Under 60m2 in size, they comply with new rules, so no consent is needed from year.
Studio 1
This studio is the perfect option for a secondary dwelling on your property to be used as a granny flat or short term rental. The compact services module contains a small kitchenette and bathroom with everything you need.
Studio 2
This studio option is the perfect secondary dwelling option to add a spare guest bedroom to your property, or as a work from home office. The lobby area could have a built-in wardrobe or desk to maximise efficiency.
We can design custom decking to connect our modular studios to your existing home for optimal flow in-between.
Inclusions
Our base model is a blank canvas for your needs. We can design decking and/or additional storage units inside to create the perfect functional space for you.
Council requirements
Under proposed rules from the government tiny home secondary dwellings under 60m2 will not need building consent from 2025.
Tricky site
The modules for the studio are small and lightweight, meaning they can be craned into small or hillside sites to maximise your property potential.

FAQ
What is included in the price?
The indicative prices (GST included) on the website include the initial design work of drawings a suitable plan for your site, any necessary consent applications and the construction of the modules at our Porirua assembly site.
Our price does not include the transportation and installation of the modules on your site, or the necessary earthworks and services connections that may be required. The installation cost may vary depending on the accessibility of the site and location in proximity to services.
Will I need a consent?
Currently, sleepouts don't need a consent. From 2025, it is expected that secondary dwellings smaller than 60m2 won't need a consent. Any larger homes do require a consent, but the cost of the consent application is included within our price.
Can I change the layout of one of the plans?
Te Whare-iti modules are designed for efficient connection. The combinations are many and varied, and can be made to suit the needs of most purchasers.
The plans shown on the website are indicative of some of the many layouts we can achieve with the modules. We will work with you to create the best configuration to suit your site.
Where do you deliver to?
We deliver to most areas in the North Island with suitable road access. At this stage we are unable to deliver to the South Island.
What if we don't have easy road access?
We can crane modules into place from a road or flat public area within 30–50m. This means we can deliver houses onto steep hillside sites with minimal road access.
Can we add modules to our existing house?
No, as adding to an existing building is not part of the consented standard modular system. However, we can add a custom design link, such as a deck, from the standalone Te Whare-iti to your house.
Would a standard two-bedroom Te Whare-iti fit on my section?
