Custom design

A home designed around you.

Start from scratch, or make one of our base designs your own. We design and build homes around the way you live and the section you have.

You don’t have to fit your life into someone else’s floor plan. Ecopod Homes offers custom designs from scratch, as well as changes to our existing range.

Two ways to begin

Your own design.
Your starting point.

01

Design from scratch

If you have a clear brief, an unusual section, or needs that a standard layout doesn’t meet, we can start with a blank page.

We’ll work through how you want to live, the spaces you need, your section and your budget, then develop a design around that brief.

02

Make a base design your own

For most people, an existing design is the easier, faster starting point. It gives us a layout to work from while we discuss what you’d like to change.

Explore the range, choose a home that’s close to what you need, and talk with us about the layout, finishes and details that would make it yours.

From idea to a workable brief

Let’s work out
what matters most.

  1. 01

    Tell us how you want to live

    Bedrooms, shared spaces, work, family, accessibility and the things you want your home to do well.

  2. 02

    Bring your section into the picture

    Share your address and any plans you have. Access, services, orientation and site requirements help shape the design.

  3. 03

    Develop the design and budget

    We’ll discuss the layout, materials and finishes alongside your budget, and work through the next design steps with you.

  4. 04

    Agree the path forward

    Before moving ahead, we’ll clarify the design, scope and project-specific work needed for your home and your section.

Have an idea in mind?

You don’t need a finished drawing to start the conversation. Tell us what you’re hoping to achieve, what you already know about your section, and whether you’d like to start from scratch or adapt a base design.
