Building better ways to live

Architecturally designed small homes, built for a considered way of living.

About

Homewerk creates small, transportable homes inspired by mid-century Aotearoa design. Focused on colour, light, and space, our homes offer a functional yet beautiful solution for modern living. Designed to be affordable and adaptable, they are perfect for any New Zealand site, whether as a first home, downsizer, or bach. Each home is built to enhance everyday living with thoughtful architecture and timeless aesthetic.

Cabins

Our design-led small homes are crafted for simplicity and intentional living, wherever you are.

Choose from three floorplans—Petite, Originale, and Double—each designed with architectural integrity, natural materials and curated interior details.
