Started with a Goal
Throughout my life, I have explored a wide range of passions, even stepping into the ring a few times for the thrill of a challenge (I’m the hairy one on the left). Along this journey, I ultimately realized that furniture design resonates as my true artistic calling. My deep appreciation for mid-century and Japanese aesthetics, paired with my interests in engineering, bathroom design, and entrepreneurship, has profoundly shaped my creative path.
Although I have achieved much, I have never considered myself the best in any single pursuit. This understanding led me to a transformative decision: to not only strive for excellence but to create a lasting legacy that benefits both people and the planet. After dedicating four years to this endeavor, iPamp embodies this vision, fully utilizing the skills I've acquired throughout my life.
The torch is now passed to our team.

Impact
-
Our innovation serves as an investment in the planet, Our genuine desire to give back to the Earth that selflessly nurtures us. Our solution entails crafting a superior lifestyle that attracts community members to live in a way that reduces their environmental impact and embraces a productive, healthy, nature-oriented lifestyle.
-
We are creating a cultural shift towards environmental living practices.
By crafting the tools needed to live a natural lifestyle, we promote a cultural shift of reducing unnecessary consumption, fostering a deeper appreciation for sustainability. Our innovation inherently encourages environmental living practices among its users, multiplying its impact as they become agents of change in their own right, contributing to a significant cultural shift towards sustainability.

Moreover, our manufacturing process is thoughtfully crafted to minimise environmental impact. By keeping our R&D and manufacturing in-house, we exercise strict control over our recycling practices and material selection. Waste is managed efficiently and reduced to only half a wheely bin for biodegradable wood dust, compared to a standard house with 1-2 skip bins. Most of our material comprises recyclable aluminium, biodegradable woods, and foam sourced from the Porirua landfill. Our unwavering dedication to sustainable manufacturing ensures we prioritise quality and the planet.
Circular economy examples.
Our waste per home is half a wheely bin, and 90% of that is biodegradable dust.
Our foam insulation is 100% recycled from foam from the Porirua landfill; our off-cuts are ground down and reformed into blocks we reuse. Foam dust is given to our clients in the form of bean bags.
Recyclable aluminium is used in all our metal components.
Paint buckets are used in our composting toilets.
Dedication
Our unwavering dedication to hard work, innovation, and sustainable living drives us forward. With our state-of-the-art CAD-animated manufacturing facility, we create iPamps tiny homes using marine aluminium and interlocking click-together parts. This makes our homes arguably the best value on the market. We back our relentless pursuit of excellence with rigorous research and abundant resources, showcasing our unwavering commitment. The exceptional design of our flagship product, the iPamp Tiny Home, stands as a testament to our unwavering spirit of innovation and resilience.
Just one of the 390 parts
To put our R&D project into scale, I will do a short brief for just one of the 390 parts. The bathroom sink is designed and manufactured in-house from 5083 5mm marine aluminium. The sink alone has waterfall angles, capillary attraction voids, service removability, and our custom side drain to allow for a washing machine underneath.
Manufacturing
-
We have invested everything in our state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Petone.
Each tiny house caravan is made from 390 in-house manufactured parts. Each component has undergone a dedicated 8-20 hours in CAD and set up of our computer-animated manufacturing. Investing over three full-time years, we have established a scalable manufacturing facility for an otherwise unscalable product. Despite facing logistical challenges like rental costs, prototyping hurdles, and lockdown delays, we have persevered through over three years of in-house research and development. Our commitment is evident in the investment of over $600K to produce our state-of-the-art scalable manufacturing plant in Petone.

iPamp stands out as the only Tiny Home in the world engineered sustainably to transform with the owner.
Our CAD-animated manufacturing facility gives us complete control over product design, enabling us to create products that align with our mission of benefiting people and the planet. Our innovative Caravan Tiny Home is designed for adaptability and empowers individuals to live according to their desires. Our sustainable joinery wall system forms the foundation of iPamp's design, offering the freedom to customise and reconfigure your living space. Whether you want a portable batch or utilise it as a sleepout, granny flat, home office, studio, or even an Airbnb for additional income, the iPamp tiny home encompasses all these possibilities.
Industry
-
Our sustainable building system: Three years of research and development have unveiled an unrivalled building system for the tiny home industry—every facet, including custom tooling for our CNC machinery, has been designed, manufactured and tested. That is 390 custom parts that have 8-20 hours of development each to be meticulously crafted and refined from precision-engineered CAD plans.

Our joinery system promotes a creative, sustainable lifestyle. On top of that, as a joiner, I naturally want to use sustainable wood and drive the trade back to using sustainable wood practices with our no MDF policy. I have created a click-in joinery system that uses biodegradable Marine plywood components that are meticulously designed and tested.
