Life in Podz
Innovative Modular Homes
The Whirligig PODZ system is an innovative, sustainable housing solution designed to address the escalating costs of providing affordable housing for First Home Buyers, Community Housing, and Empty Nesters.
Moving beyond traditional tiny houses, this approach offers small, manageable, eco-friendly modular homes that are scalable, quick to assemble, and adaptable to a diverse range of environments—including tropical, coastal, temperate, and alpine settings.
Everything you need to know
Key Features & Principles
Each PODZ home is designed with modular thinking at its heart. This means that your home can grow, change, or move with your lifestyle.
- Flexible Configurations: Arrange single or multi-storey units to fit your space or community needs.
- Scalable Designs: Start with one unit and expand later, combining modules as your family or project grows.
- Relocatable Homes: Move or reconfigure units without major disruption, keeping your community evolving naturally.
Strategic Approach & Benefits
At Whirligig PODZ, our homes are built to empower communities, support sustainable living, and adapt to the needs of the people who live in them. Every unit combines smart design, practical innovation, and environmental responsibility.
We offer the opportunity for a group of Tradies or semi-skilled handymen to get together and collaboratively build each other’s homes. Imagine getting a low interest loan and paying off your home for about the cost of rent.
Design & Construction
Whirligig PODZ combines innovative modular design with sustainable construction practices to deliver homes that are quick to assemble, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible. From the initial concept to the final fit-out, every step of our design and construction process is built to meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability. Let us guide you to a design that maximises your space. We have partnered with Builders and are looking for more to meet your demand
Quality Assurance
At Whirligig PODZ, quality is at the heart of everything we do. From the materials we use to the way each home is assembled, our commitment is to deliver durable, safe, and sustainable homes that residents can rely on for years to come.
Generally, we supply “Flat-pack” but a complete construction package is available through one of our partner Builders.
Assembly Process
At Whirligig PODZ, we’ve streamlined the assembly process to ensure that every home is built with speed, precision, and sustainability. Our modular system allows for quick setup while maintaining the highest standards of quality and durability. We have available for larger projects a Mobile Assembly line to enhance the Building process.
Sustainability
Our homes are designed with eco-friendly materials, energy-saving systems, and future-proof features that make living green not just a choice, but a way of life. With every PODZ home, we are shaping a sustainable future where quality, affordability, and environmental responsibility come together to create lasting value for generations to come.
Do it yourself (DIY)
At PODZ, we believe the Aussie dream of home ownership should still be within reach—affordable, practical, and achievable. That’s why our Flat Pack system is designed for those who want to take a hands-on approach and build their own home with confidence.
Unlike traditional construction, where labour and transport drive up costs, our modular Flat Pack design reduces both. Every component is engineered to standard supplier sizes, minimising waste and eliminating unnecessary cutting. The result: a streamlined system that saves time, money, and effort.
Our DIY model is created with the everyday builder in mind. You don’t need to be a professional tradesperson to succeed. With clear instructions, step-by-step videos, and optional training courses, you’ll have all the support you need to assemble your PODZ with ease.
Whether you’re building your first home, setting up a secondary dwelling, or preparing for future upgrades, PODZ gives you the flexibility to start small and grow. Build now, share land with family or friends, and later move, extend, or even redesign your PODZ as your lifestyle evolves.
With PODZ, the dream of owning a home isn’t just possible—it’s in your hands.
