the more technical stuff

a tiny home designed to last a lifetime in even the harshest environments.  built to handle extreme snow and wind and salt zones, these high-performance homes meet German passivhaus standards for insulation.  with a constant temperature of around 21 degrees, zendom uses a heat exchanger to constantly circulate fresh air from outside, keeping you comfortable all year round.  super-insulated, your body heat and appliances are all that's needed to keep it cozy.  with zendom, you can feel safe and comfortable, no matter where you choose to place your home in New Zealand.

what's it made of?

the eco-friendly materials that make up the backbone of zendom.  the rear walls and floors are made from solid, locally sourced cross-laminated timber, ensuring minimal wastage during construction.  for an even stronger frame, we've incorporated highly engineered timber beams that prevent thermal transfer and condensation.  its roof is wrapped in an eco-friendly TPO membrane that's free of any harmful chemicals.

we didn't stop there.   we've wrapped the entire structure in sustainably grown engineered pine cladding, providing superior strength and weather resistance.   let's not forget about the windows!  we've partnered with the renowned German company Nueffer to bring you triple glazed, thermally broken, and low-e windows.  around 3 times more efficient than traditional glazing, helping you save energy and reduce your carbon footprint.  at zendom, we're committed to building homes that are both beautiful and sustainable.


what does all this mean for me?

we're all about making your life easy.  that's why we've made sure our tiny homes can be consented for use anywhere in New Zealand.  you can sit back, relax, and let us take care of the details.   you're getting more than just a place to call home.  you're getting a super comfortable and incredibly safe haven that's designed to handle whatever New Zealand throws your way.  whether you're looking for a cozy hideaway in the mountains or a beachside retreat, zendom has got you covered.   you finally can have the freedom to live wherever you want, without having to worry about the hassle of getting building consents.
