Designed and built in New Zealand using SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels), the eco 1 is a high-performing home that combines exceptional energy efficiency, a low carbon footprint, and a fast build process.

Designed for Modern Living 

The eco 1 isn’t just a small structure, it’s a fully functional one-bedroom home, crafted with modern living in mind. Every detail of the floorplan is designed to maximise space, creating a light, airy environment that feels larger than its footprint suggests. 

With a comfortable bedroom, a bright living area, and a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, the eco 1 can accommodate whānau, guests, or long-term residents with ease.

Built for Energy Efficiency and Comfort 

Many compact homes are built to basic standards, leading to drafts, dampness, and high power bills. The eco 1 takes a different approach. It’s built as a high-performing SIP home, using Structural Insulated Panels that provide excellent insulation and airtightness. This means the home stays warm in winter and cool in summer, using far less energy to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. 

With high-performance glazing and smart ventilation, the eco 1 delivers healthy indoor air quality and dramatically reduced energy consumption. It’s the ideal solution for anyone looking to lower their power bills while enjoying a consistently comfortable living environment. 

And because of its compact footprint, it’s easy to integrate solar panels or other renewable systems to take the eco 1 fully off-grid if you choose. 

A Low-Carbon, Eco-Friendly Home Built with SIPs 

Sustainability is at the heart of eco 1. Every home is constructed with eco-friendly materials and SIPs, which help reduce thermal bridging and minimise waste during the build. SIPs are precision-manufactured, meaning less off-cut waste and a more controlled construction process compared to traditional on-site methods. 

By using SIPs and a carefully considered design, eco 1 supports more efficient use of materials and energy, offering a smart choice for anyone wanting a home that’s kinder to the environment and built to last. 

 Fast Build, Minimal Disruption with SIP Homes 

Traditional building projects can drag on for months, with unpredictable weather delays, on-site mess, and endless scheduling headaches. The eco 1 changes all of that. 

Each home is precision-built in a controlled environment, ensuring a consistently high standard and fast turnaround times. Once complete, it’s transported to your site and installed with minimal disruption; no months of building chaos in your backyard. 

With the speed and precision of SIP home construction, you can have your new space ready to use in a fraction of the time of a standard build. 

Flexible Uses for a One-Bedroom SIP Home 

With its smart one-bedroom layout and high-performing design, eco 1 lends itself perfectly to a range of uses. Whether you need extra accommodation now or want to plan for future opportunities, eco 1 gives you options: 

• Independent living for ageing parents: provide a warm, healthy home right on your property while maintaining independence. 

• A future holiday retreat: set up a low-maintenance getaway in your favourite location. 

• Potential Airbnb or guest accommodation: create space that could generate extra income down the line. 

• A separate studio or office: ideal for focused work, creative projects, or welcoming guests in style. 

• A compact, eco-friendly home: perfect for singles, couples, or anyone wanting to live simply without sacrificing comfort. 

Because eco 1 is built with SIPs and designed for energy efficiency, it offers long-term value no matter how you choose to use it — now or in the future. 

Why Choose a SIP Home? 

SIPs are the secret to eco 1’s outstanding performance. These Structural Insulated Panels create a continuous thermal envelope, resulting in high-performing homes that are stronger, more airtight, and far more energy efficient than traditional timber framing. 

Unlike many conventional builds, SIP homes are designed to work with controlled ventilation systems. This ensures a steady supply of fresh air, helping the home and the people living in it to breathe in a healthier way. The result is a warm, dry, and comfortable indoor environment with excellent air quality all year round. 

The benefits of SIP homes include: 

• Faster build times 

• Superior insulation and comfort 

• Healthy, controlled ventilation 

• Reduced energy bills 

• Durability and strength 

• Excellent sustainability credentials 

By combining SIP construction with thoughtful design, eco 1 represents the future of eco-friendly, energy-efficient housing in Aotearoa.
