What is The Shakka?
The Shakka is a unique, modular housing solution that consists of individual pods, offering ultimate flexibility. With a two-bedroom floor plan, one of the bedrooms also doubles as a workshop or storage space, giving you versatile living arrangements. The living spaces and sleeping areas are thoughtfully separated for enhanced comfort.
Why choose The Shakka?
- Flexible Layout: Arrange your pods in a huddle around connected outdoor living spaces, creating a collective, communal feel.
- Modular Design: The Shakka grows with you! You can add more pods as your needs change, or even relocate the individual pods thanks to their relocatable design.
- Built to Last: Designed and built in Australia for Australian conditions, The Shakka is equipped with commercial-grade flooring and quality finishes for durability and low maintenance.
Who is The Shakka for?
- Minimalists: Perfect for those seeking a simpler, more intentional lifestyle.
- Families & Growing Households: Add more pods as your family grows or needs change.
- Adventurers: Relocate your pods as needed, creating a living space that moves with you.

This means, by guiding you through the steps required for council certification and approvals that your zoning requires, you will have a compliant living space addition to your property.
Our cabins also achieve a 7-star energy efficiency rating when appropriately sited on your property. We offer optional deck pods and patio roofing kits that integrate with all our designs.
