The LivingPOD

Eco-Friendly, High-End Tiny Homes

Affordable. Architecturally Designed. Transportable.

The Living POD is a 36m², self-contained, modular home designed for living, working, or playing. Architecturally crafted and engineered by Richards Consulting, it is built by Senna Developments Ltd, a registered Licensed Building Practitioner, with full council consent.

Versatile, Functional, and Profitable

The Living POD isn’t just a tiny home—it’s “anything but average.” By flipping the design on its side, we maximise space, creating a unique, marketable cabin ideal for Airbnb rentals, mountain retreats, or extra income from underutilised land. It can be purchased as a supply-only unit or installed by our team, with support for planning permissions and council consent. Multiple PODs can be linked with adjoining decks for expanded living or rental potential.

Designed & Built by Senna Developments

At Senna Developments, we didn’t just build the Living POD—we designed it from the ground up. Our vision was to step beyond conventional tiny homes and create a functional, versatile space that maximises every square metre. By spreading the layout outwards and thinking creatively about flow and usability, we’ve crafted a modular home that is as practical as it is architecturally striking, perfect for off-grid living, Airbnb rentals, or a mountain retreat.

Sustainable, Off-Grid Ready

Every Living POD is designed for eco-friendly living, with carefully selected materials for sustainability, durability, and minimal environmental impact. The POD can be fully solar-powered and off-grid, offering complete independence from municipal services while maintaining modern comforts. We have partnered with Telfers Electrical for high-quality solar solutions and Active Flow for the Econotreat 3200L Dual Chamber Septic Tank, a robust off-grid wastewater solution. Together, these systems allow your Living POD to be self-sufficient, sustainable, and energy-efficient, perfect for Selwyn, Mackenzie Country, Christchurch, Canterbury and the rest of the South Island.

Designed for Comfort andLegally Recognised & Finance-Ready

Once installed, the Living POD is classified as a building under the Building Act, meaning it can be insured and financed just like a traditional home.
