CUSTOM POD HOMES, GRANNY FLATS & STUDIO SOLUTIONS

Pod homes are compact, modular living spaces designed for simplicity and efficiency. Prefabricated off-site, they are delivered ready for use, emphasizing sustainable living with energy-efficient and eco-friendly materials. These homes provide a unique solution for those aiming to minimize their ecological footprint while enjoying a functional, stylish, and manageable living space.

At Sunshine Tiny Houses, we pride ourselves on the exceptional quality of our pod homes, granny flats, and studios. Whether you're seeking a hassle-free alternative to home renovations, a cozy guest house, a productive studio, or a tranquil retreat, we offer both signature and bespoke designs tailored to meet your needs. Our expert team is dedicated to ensuring a stress-free experience, crafting each space to perfectly blend style with functionality, thus transforming your vision into reality.

All our constructions adhere to the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and National Construction Code (NCC), ensuring each Pod Home, Granny Flat, or Studio is built to the highest standards.

Our designs strike a balance between simplicity and elegance, aimed at delivering functional living spaces that fulfill your essential needs without compromising on style.

We're here to guide you through the planning and certification stages, smoothing the path to construction.

Experience peace of mind as our team constructs your Pod with precision in our factory, minimizing the time spent on your property. Typically, we require one week for site preparation before delivery and another week post-delivery for installation completion. This timeframe can vary depending on site specifics, but rest assured, we strive to reduce any inconvenience.
