A new range of environmentally friendly portable cabins
made from recycled plastic bottles is designed to withstand the harshest of New
Zealand conditions.
The
result of years of research and development have culminated in a small Waikato
based company called Space2 producing a range of eco-friendly cabins, each made
from more than 15,000 recycled plastic bottles. The cabins are also built 330%
more energy efficient than a cabin built to building code, and so strong they
can confidently be placed in earthquake and extra high wind zones. They feature
designer interiors and are ideal as backyard studios, holiday baches or luxury accommodation.
Space2
intelligent eco-cabins are the brainchild of Craig Pollard, an experienced construction
manager and entrepreneur who lives in Karamu in the Waikato.
“For
many years I worked in construction, assessing buildings and managing repairs
for insurance companies, “says Craig. “I saw that building systems needed to be
simpler and more sustainable, the materials better performing and more recyclable. I wanted to find a building system that was
both robust and environmentally friendly. We offer that solution in our range
of engineered and architecturally designed cabins.”
The
result, launched on January 27th 2021 is, SPACE2, a range of
intelligent eco-cabins sized from 10 square metres to 30 square metres, a variety
of choice as luxury holiday baches, peaceful workspaces, stylish sleepouts or for
whatever creative space you desire. The cabins are built and fitted out locally
in the Waikato region and can be transported anywhere in New Zealand.
“Our
cabins offer a new dimension to the cabin market as they are quiet, safe, use
superior materials and are beautifully designed,” says Craig. “They are built
for ultimate durability, thermal efficiency and strength, with an
earthquake-proof exoskeleton and high-density insulation, triple-glazed windows
and doors, and marine grade paint and fastenings. Every single component is
designed for superior strength, longevity, and thermal performance. They are
built to tackle the harshest weather conditions and demands of New Zealand
living.”
“A
SPACE2 portable cabin provides the occupants confidence they are safe in any environment,
while our premium insulation and triple glazing deliver the quietest, most
comfortable living experience you could imagine, whether located in the inner
city, at the beach or in the wildest parts of New Zealand.”
Owners
of a SPACE2 eco-cabin can be sure that their new studio or bach is indeed
eco-friendly. The company's business model ensures a massive reduction in the
carbon footprint of each cabin, and environmentally friendly products and
recycled materials are used to create a designer space ready for furnishings.
All interior finishing products are solvent-free and made with natural
ingredients and, of course, the cabin's thermal properties ensure minimal need
for artificial heating and cooling, lowering energy consumption.
SPACE2
eco-cabins are now being made to order. With a variety of customisable options,
they can be connected to local services or tailor-made with full off-the-grid
packages. Space2 brings transparency to the costs of their cabins through the
company website which features an interactive configurator that allows customers
to readily calculate the overall cost of their cabin including foundations, delivery,
and installation.
