Styler

The Makanui is a bold, architecturally inspired 3-bedroom transportable home that blends modern design with everyday practicality. With a generous 16m x 6m layout, it delivers the spacious feel of a traditional build, while offering the flexibility and speed of transportable construction.

From the front, the Makanui makes a lasting impression with horizontal cedar cladding, bold wing walls, and a sleek, symmetrical façade that sets it apart. Inside, the heart of the home is a sun-filled open-plan kitchen, lounge, and dining area, offering seamless flow and ample room for family life or entertaining.

The bedrooms are positioned at either end of the home to enhance privacy and zoning, while two full bathrooms, a dedicated scullery and laundry provide added convenience and storage — making the Makanui ideal for families, downsizers, or those building a high-end holiday home.
