Description
This is a high-spec, transportable unit designed for year-round comfort. Unlike standard timber-frame cabins, this was built using Formance SIP Panels and Thermally Broken UPVC joinery, focusing on thermal efficiency and air quality.
It's been used as a showroom over the last few years, and had minimal use.
Construction Insulation: Full SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) construction for walls, roof & floor. This provides significantly better R-values and airtightness than traditional building methods, meaning this puppy takes barely anything to heat/cool. Windows/Door: Double-glazed, thermally broken UPVC. This is a massive step up from standard aluminium, practically eliminating condensation and heat loss. Ventilation: Includes a German-engineered Lunos Heat Recovery (HRV) system. This ensures the room has fresh, filtered air 24/7 without losing the internal temperature.
Interior & Finish Aesthetic: The exposed SIPS create a modern contrast with white-washed ceilings, moody dark-stained walls, and warm, clear-coated feature walls. Lighting: 4x LED swivel downlights and 2x concealed LED strip lights in the reveals. Floor: Soft carpet on high-quality underlay. Electrical: 3x internal double power outlets. The entire unit is powered by a single caravan plug (lead supplied). Exterior & Dimensions Cladding: Durable charcoal iron combined with vertical timber shiplap. Footprint: 6.30m long x 3.08m wide x 3.30m high. Portability: Designed with a chassis suitable for easy HIAB (crane truck) transport. Practical Details Location: Woolston, Christchurch. Viewing by appointment is welcome. Freight: Buyer to organize freight, but I am happy to assist with logistics/recommendations for local HIAB operators. Note: The sale includes the cabin and lighting. Furniture and staging items are not included. This is a solid, well-ventilated space that would suit a home office, studio, or additional bedroom where warmth and health are the priority.
