designs and floorplans of ecokit in 3D models on the table

EVERY GOOD STORY STARTS SOMEWHERE

Ecokit™ was born out of a frustration with the status quo. It started in 2015 as an idea for a simple, compact structure that would be comfortable, well insulated and built out of non toxic materials. It was not a commercial venue at that point either, only a one off design for our founder, Camilla.

The concept of a small DIY eco house was born as an alternative solution to dwellings that could be easily built by an inexperienced owner builder and on a much lower budget than the standard Australian home.

A few criteria were paramount during the planning & design phase: The simplicity of the build, the materials and the affordability. Another focus was on the functionality and how the house was to adapt to different stages of the occupant’s life.

IT ALWAYS SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE... UNTIL IT'S DONE

After releasing the concept of ecokit into the virtual network, a lot of feedback has been received. Working with the community encouraged us to continue with further development.

Lack of knowledge in Australia and more extensive uptake of prefab, modular buildings and advanced materials such as engineered timber in Europe inspired Camilla to start searching for an engineering company in her native country – the Czech Republic, to help her with develop a kit of parts for a home that is modern, energy efficient, healthy and sustainable.

Working together on the modular design of ecokit with building designer Jesse, the team reached out to Vesper Frames, an engineering firm with an appreciation for innovation, quality and the concept of self-assembly.

I reached out to ecokit in late 2019 after discovering them online and thought their homes were a perfect solution for individuals, families, and businesses who are looking for a creative and eco-friendly solution to their unique construction requirements.

Operations & Sustainability

Gillian

A house is the single biggest investment for most people, and it is vital to get it right. For me, that means optimising the design, the energy-efficiency and the comfort, choosing top materials and quality craftsmanship to create a property that is “future-proof”, a house that stays relevant to its occupants and has longevity beyond the immediate time frame. I am passionate about our environment and my Danish background has blessed me with a love for great, functional design and a drive to do better. These values are all matched beautifully by ecokit and I am grateful to work with Camilla and the team on something as important as our homes.

Connecting technology which has been my passion since childhood with a healthy lifestyle is a great challenge. And being part of a small, tight-knit team building a new company is something I have dreamt of for a long time.

At ecokit I have the unique privilege to indulge all of the above. After many years dedicated to large IT projects in international tech & pharma corporations, I now have the opportunity to do something truly meaningful.

I am part of a team building a company that utilises technologies to provide healthy, comfortable homes that are environmentally friendly. Everyday I collaborate with like minded people, who believe in ecokit's vision & mission and this provides me enormous gratification.
