Living & Kitchen

The open-plan kitchen and living space is designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. Large bi-fold windows and French doors create a strong connection to the outdoors, filling the home with natural light and fresh air.

The kitchen itself can be configured in a number of layouts to suit your lifestyle - whether you prioritise bench space, storage, or integrated appliances.

For those who love to host, the layout flows seamlessly onto our optional covered deck module - extending your living space beyond the walls of the home.

Built-in seating provides a cosy place to relax, with generous storage neatly tucked away beneath.

Bedroom

The bedroom is designed to feel calm, functional, and uncluttered. In the longer models, a built-in wardrobe offers generous drawer and hanging space, all concealed behind clean cabinetry.

Additional storage is integrated beneath the bed with soft-close drawers, making the most of every inch without compromising the feel of the space.

Bathroom & Laundry Options

The bathroom is positioned down the hall for privacy and includes:

• Shower with extractor fan

• Vanity and storage cabinetry

• Choice of composting or flushing toilet

In the longer model you also have the flexibility to include a stacked washing machine and dryer, or integrate a bench with a tall storage cupboard - allowing you to tailor the space to your routine.

A high opening window brings in natural light while supporting airflow and ventilation.

Smarter Storage in the Longer Model

The extended Whale (10.4m x 3m and beyond) unlocks a new level of practicality. Alongside increased internal space, it includes:

• Built-in wardrobe in the bedroom

• Dedicated laundry configurations

• Hidden loft storage above the laundry/wardrobe area - perfect for storing seasonal or less frequently used items

Every element is designed to keep your home feeling open, while quietly adding highly functional storage.

Crafted with Care

We take pride in building homes that feel considered and enduring. Every Whale is handcrafted in our Raglan workshop by licensed builders, with a huge focus on using high-quality, eco-conscious, non-toxic materials.

From kitchens to cavity doors, nothing is off-the-shelf, each detail is made with intention.

Delivery & Flexibility

Your home is delivered ready to live in (excluding soft furnishings), anywhere in New Zealand.

Designed for flexibility, the Whale can remain on wheels or be fixed to your land as a permanent asset.

Make It Your Own

All of our homes are fully customisable - from layout and dimensions through to materials and finishes. Whether you extend the footprint, reconfigure the kitchen, or tailor the storage, we work with you to create a home that fits your lifestyle.
