waiheke barn 114 transportable home

Our lovely clients, Marli and David, live in Canada and worked with us remotely via Zoom, phone calls, and email to create their beautiful bespoke Elevate Barn 114 home — ready and waiting for them on their return to Waiheke Island.

While the Elevate Barn 114 is one of our more compact designs, this home proves that smaller footprints can still deliver big on lifestyle. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully customised, it features two spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, a separate scullery and laundry, and a host of clever details tailored to both the homeowners’ personalities and the relaxed Waiheke setting.

One of the bedrooms is designed to double as a peaceful yoga studio, with mirrored doors and a cleverly integrated Tiltaway bed concealed within bespoke cabinetry — allowing the space to transform effortlessly into a fully functioning guest bedroom with ensuite. The master suite offers a sense of understated luxury, complete with a large bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, double vanity, and a generous 1.6m tiled shower — a perfect place to unwind.

This home was even featured on the popular TVNZ 1 show Moving Houses — capturing attention not only on-screen, but also in the hearts of its owners. As Marli and David shared:

“We absolutely love our new home… We’ve ended up with a design and fittings so customised for us, but still with the advantages of an off-site build. The whole process felt so warmly supported — we’re delighted with how it all works together. We want to thank you all, not only for the quality build but for how stress-free you made the whole process from start to finish. We think your homes are pretty special.”
