We've created a flat-packed solution.
Each ecokit home is build out of modular, flat-packed engineered construction system made from thermal insulated panels (and no polystyrene, XPS or EPS).
It's made from healthy, non-toxic, low environmental impact materials to create an off-grid home (*optional) made from a combination of digitally manufactured and off-the-shelf components.
Prefabricating many of the building components and creating an easy to assemble kit not only reduces waste but also maximizes the quality of construction.
An ecokit home can be built by two people over a few weeks with on-line technical support and minimal tools, making incredible savings on labour. But if you don't feel like tackling it yourself, any skilled builder can do it for you.
We're reinventing the word 'luxury.'
It used to mean extravagance, opulence and excess. Our new definition is living life on your own terms, without a huge mortgage hanging over your head or pressure to stay in a job that you hate.
Finally a comfortable home.
An airtight building envelope − coupled with an innovative wall system − have resulted in optimum thermal efficiency to ensure you’re cosy in winter and cool in summer. The roof system utilises the revolutionary Tractile tiles, the world’s first integrated solar roof generating both electricity and hot water from a single unit. Each home is finished off with a covered spacious deck to enjoy the outdoors all year round.
Breathe in. Enjoy the fresh air.
Living environment should be a healthy environment. We have chosen the materials and finishes and designed the heating and ventilation systems to promote healthy living.
We’ve done extensive research to avoid using substances that can off-gas into the living spaces and chosen finishes and treatments that are either low or no VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds). We have made sure as many materials and finishes are natural.
A home that grows with you.
As our lifestyle changes, so should our home. Ecokit home can be easily extended by adding extra modules to accommodate all your needs. And you don’t need an enormous mortgage to get started.
Here's where we are:
We've been working for the last 3 years to get us to where we are today. We designed the house, developed a new construction system, partly completed our architectural and construction drawings, made the best deals with material suppliers and have a client backing the project and investing into the prototype house.
We are now in the middle of a big capital raise push. Don't forget, we're doing this from the ground up and we aren't underwritten by anyone but our friends, family and YOU. Once we finish raising money, we'll start the construction and flip the switch on manufacturing of the kit.
We are ready to build the first ecokit home. We have tested the modules, assembled them and took them apart...
We have a client with available land in beautiful Snowy Mountains, supporting us and our project and ready to invest to build the prototype house.
We have volunteers who put their hand up for the construction.
We have sponsors who donated their awesome products to showcase ecokit in its completeness.
So how do you fit in?
Are you dreaming about building your own ecokit home? Well now is your chance! Our kits are only months away from reaching you, but we can't get there without your help. In order to build and fit-out the prototype you all can rent out and experience first hand, we need your contribution to help us reach our goal of $65,000.
This money will help us pay for the remainder of our construction documentation & detailed assembly manual, as well as video production of the construction. It will be also used for certification of compliance with BCA, so we can release the kit on the market as soon as possible.
Will my investment really make a difference?
Your impact is larger than words. You will help create the moments that empower people. And for this project specifically, you will have the chance to be part of creating a next generation type of home. We aren’t funded by any of the big construction dinosaurs; we aren’t funded by one single family; we are funded by YOU, our supporters.
What else can I do to help?
Thought you'd never ask! Please share this campaign on Facebook, Twitter and e-mail using the Indiegogo tools at the top right of this page. The more we can spread the word about this opportunity, the sooner can ecokit be on the market.
This first ecokit home (or two rather!) will host you (our product tester backers) and our ambassadors. We will hold regular open days to show the house to potential buyers and it will be also available to book for a short stay for those wanting to experience the life in ecokit home.
Now it's time to jump on board and donate to help us reach our goal!
We know that when good people come together for the right reasons, there is no limit to what can be achieved!
Early sponsors.
Ecokit homes is delighted to announce our early Sponsors and wish to thank them for their support and generosity!
The perks.
We realize this is not a traditional campaign, as we simply can't give a house to everyone who backs us but what we are looking for is people who can see the vision. This campaign is a call for support of a new idea. It's primarily a call for fellow dreamers, innovators and revolutionaries to join us and help redefine what home really means.
The manufacturing of ecokit will be limited for the first few months and because we have a lot of interest and had to create a waiting list already, we are offering 10 kits* for a pre-order. Those can be delivered anytime during 2018 and the fee guarantees you the kit and $2000 off the purchase price.
*Those kits start at $99,900 for the ground floor studio unit with basic selections and will be customized for every customer. All additional cost for upgrades will be added to the base fee.
We have also prepared a pet range of ecokits - we have a small and medium dog house and a cat mansion, too! Those kits are flat packed, DIY, minimalist style pet homes that will suit any interior. They come in natural & black foil ply.
The Workshops.
Want to co-innovate a trailblazing affordable housing model?
For a $500 (or $1000 for construction industry professional) donation you can join our exclusive workshop during the construction of the prototype where we will collaborate on improving the construction and brainstorming the easiest & safest way of assembly, as well as collectively building the first ecokit home!
