Building with Pallets - Pozie Eco-cabin

The POZIE is an eco-cabin built from 90% recycled waste material.

Since Spring 2007 I have realised my mission was the quest for AFFORDABLE AND SUSTAINABLE HOUSING.
The Pozie concept takes all the lessons learned from the Solabode journey and adds a new major difference; It is made of up to 90% recycled waste materials in an attempt to reduce costs and significantly lower its carbon footprint.

The Pozie is FOR SALE
$15,995 (incl. GST) includes curtains, wired for 230 volts and a 20w solar panel and lighting system. Transport to your site at own cost, (approx. $400 if in Nelson).

Contact mark@solabode.co.nz for further details.

The Pozie floor, walls and roof panels are prefabricated and delivered by truck for assembly on site.
Ideal as a sleepout, home office or accommodation unit, it is fully insulated and double glazed.
Under 10 sq.m. so does not need a building consent (conditions apply).
The Pozie is wired for 240v power and has an optional 12v solar lighting system. A rainwater barrel with tap is also optional.
The Pozie is made of non-toxic materials and 100% New Zealand Designed and Manufactured.

A CALL TO ALL BRAVE INVESTORS! (or perhaps potential client's)
Would you like to see viable and desirable housing solutions developed that might help lots of people attain home ownership with considerably reduced debt? Would you care to help me develop these solutions using recycled waste materials assembled in responsible and innovative ways that not only save money but also drastically reduce pressures on planetary eco systems (which our mainstream building industry still exerts)? I have tested these methods with great success as you can see. So if this piques your interest please contact me to discuss how we may work together towards fulfilling such a goal. Thank you.

Weatherboard panel on east side is made from rainforest timber pallet boards on a table saw. All exterior stain finish on wood is natural oil stain from the natural House Company in Motueka.

The Pozie and other pallet building solutions shown on this site are all
examples of what is possible to build from pallets and recycled materials.
