Pod Concepts Design
Architecture
At Pod Concepts we have looked to push the boundaries of transportable architecture, while creating beautiful modern solutions to the requirement for extra space.
Our Pods have been architecturally designed with careful consideration of the latest design methodologies and trends. Our aim has been to create modern yet classic spaces that make the most of every millimeter of the area and volume available, while maintaining a sophisticated quality and finish.
Flexibility
Our Pod Concepts provide excellent flexibility on a number of different levels.
As an extra space solution Pod Concepts provide a range of space and use requirements from bedroom, work space or gym to studio, guest accommodation or just an escape for some private time; Pod Concepts have the flexibility to meet your needs.
Our adaptable designs easily serve multiple needs as our custom designed furniture and layout allows for a home office through the day, a spare bedroom at night and an exercise space for the weekend.
Pod Concepts have also been designed to accommodate a number of cluster combinations, meaning if one pod is not enough you can combine two or more to meet your specific requirements.
Pod Concepts have the flexibility to change with you over time, adapting uses as your needs change - and if you move, you can take your Pod Concept with you!
Features
As a result of our attention to detail and intelligent design, our Pods are of the highest standard of quality. The Pods are constructed using sustainable materials; they are fully insulated; they utilise double glazed aluminium windows; and are finished to the highest standards by our craftsmen builders.

Left Auckland today at 4am for a smooth run up the 309 Road in Coromandel. No issues lifting the new Community Hub ecopod for Mahakirau Forest Conservation Estate onto the piles.
A stunning day for it too. Hope you like the look of this. Happy to answer any technical questions about the pod features and construction!

WE’VE MOVED!
Come see us in our new production site in Greenhithe Auckland. It’s an old boat building shed with beautiful surrounds and large indoor spaces for building our pods.
Come see us and check out the new facility and talk to us about what we can build for you!

We’re proud to be sponsoring the Mahakirau Forest Conservation project with a bespoke M-Pod for their new community hub! This will act as a base for field workers, researchers and education on this 600Ha Coromandel conservation estate. It’s a truly stunning project.
Help them fundraise their last bit for the startup costs of the project if you can! Their GiveALittle page can be found here:
https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/help-us-build-a-field-base-or-community-hub
To be able to manage, and accelerate, the work they’re doing, they have secured the necessary resource consent, and are well advanced in building a small Field Base Community Hub with a meeting/learning space in one container; short term accommodation space in a modular Ecopod for researchers to stay; and a storage facility/tool library in a second container.
Over 80% of the funds they need have been raised from funders like NZ Lotteries; Trust Waikato, QEII National Trust, Pub Charity and even the proceeds of two cake stalls from our local early learning centre, Riverlee!
This week we’ve started with floor and wall framing, and figuring out the practicalities of installing a dehydrating compost toilet, too!
We’re looking forward to
Here’s a sneak peak at the office and lunchroom pods with composting toilets that we recently delivered to Orakei.
We love how the pods blend in with the landscape and allow nursery staff to enjoy a warm space with epic views to Auckland city and out to the nursery plant bays.
We were able to install two continuous composting systems for toilets to reduce the site’s water usage and add to the ethos of sustainability and care for the environment which is so strongly held by Ngati Whatua Ōrakei who commissioned the build.
Big ups to the landscapers too for creating such a beautiful scene for the Pods to nestle into!
Wishing the team all the best for kicking off their major native plant nursery project. Kia kaha.

Happy Queens Birthday Weekend everyone!
We hope you have as much fun as Shayna’s little boys are having playing in the trees! (Swipe for more photos...) This is Shayna’s new SPod we built as a kitset in their backyard as an office and stock store for her business @thewastefreehome - based in Westmere, she’s supplying fantastic products to help people eliminate wasteful packaging and plastics from the home. Do take a look at her website to help you on your zero waste journey here; https://thewastefreehome.co.nz
The pod colours were chosen by Shayna to match their existing home, and we think it turned out beautifully! Don’t you?

COATESVILLE OFFICE POD
This newly clad Ecopod in sustainably sourced macrocarpa vertical cladding completes this Scandinavian-style office. Used by two staff of a web-based company, they’re loving the natural light and stunning landscaping.
Embracing the minimalist lifestyle with simple office furniture and white walls, this Ecopod creates an enjoyable and productive space.

This is like our C1 Pod dwelling. Talk to us about passive solar design and Homestar rating for your next ecopod project.
HEYLEY PROJECT || Located beachside on Phillip Island Victoria, the Heyley project has nestled beautifully into its natural setting. Adopting passive solar principles and maximising the site orientation the home achieves a 7-star energy rating.
Two sustainably built modules envelope three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open living area with freestanding fireplace. The beach home occupies a minimal footprint, but still offers maximum flexibility for a young family to enjoy a relaxing coastal escape.

There’s no doubt that lockdown has presented us many challenges as well as opportunities. We just love what @leeohnee created with her family doing up the interior of their Ecopod. Big congrats to you and wishing you all the best for life in your new Pod!
As you’d expect, now that we’re in Level 2, people are welcome to stop by our yard in Dairy Flat to discuss any Pod project you have in mind. We’ll work with you to come up with a project design and cost for you to consider. Come and see us at 1432 Dairy Flat Highway and say hello to our team!

We’re excited to start building the office pods for this fantastic project in Orakei with Ngati Whatua for their new native plant nursery. Consents were approved finally yesterday! The project is aiming to be Eco friendly with the use of composting toilets, solar thermal hot water heating (from @apricussolar), full insulation and timber construction with low wastage. #prefabricated #officepods #prefabricatedhomes #modular #prefab #aucklandbuilder #architecturenz #homebuilder #modularhomes #energyefficient #sustainablehomes #lesshousemorehome #modulararchitecture #archilovers #ecohomes #ecofriendlyhome
Happy Belated Earth Day! (Whether you’re in France, like this student Eco-Village or Aotearoa right now!) While exploring Bretagne @riexploring got the chance to visit @ty_village , an eco-village dedicated to students of Saint-Brieuc in order to offer them a better living experience and well-being in a smaller space. They say that the living environment is pleasant and calm, ideal to concentrate for studying. What a great idea to give young people the opportunity to experience and learn about sustainable living options.
Wouldn’t you have loved to live in a tiny house during college!? ❤️. #prefabricated #modernhomes #prefabricatedhomes #modular #prefab #aucklandbuilder #architecturenz #homebuilder #modularhomes #energyefficient #sustainablehomes #lesshousemorehome #modulararchitecture #archilovers #ecohomes #ecofriendlyhome #ecovillage #cohousing
We’re excited to be building pods again from next Tuesday. Well done #TeamNZ for staying home and keeping us all safe for the four week lockdown period.

@leeohnee and Luna the happy dog getting set up in their new mezzanine pod home. We couldn’t be happier for the two of them to have their own place to call home complete with a yoga deck and futon bed. What a dream!
Sending you both good wishes for your new Ecopod life!
