Complete Build
Each complete NestPod™ is expertly designed by Jonathan in his inimitable style from the ground upwards with unique design features and functions to suit your detailed brief. The end result is a stunning architectural gem and work of art!
Jonathan uses his unique sense of style and craftsmanship to fashion a complete interior with handmade furniture, lighting and fittings and/or sourced items as required. This reflects his main architectural inspiration - the concept of a house being a work of art with the architect/designer being responsible for every detail. There is an archive of his design and craftsmanship at jonathanavery.com.
The photographs here show an example NestPod™ Outback which due to the client requirements does not have a living area...this is being added later as a separate NestPod™ module which will provide the living room and an additional sleep loft. The guide price for a fully finished NestPod Complete Build like this is around £40-55k ex-works, depending on the design, build-level and the extent of specification; NB: off-grid power solutions such as solar panels/batteries etc are not part of this budget.
The NestPod™ and NestHouse™ are central to Tiny House Scotland's principle of small scale homesteading and smallholding as a sustainable way of life.
The guide price for a fully finished NestPod Complete Build like this is around £40k-55k ex-works, depending on the design, build-level and the extent of specification; off-grid solutions such as solar panels/batteries etc would be extra.
Please note that this specification involves high spec. materials like western red cedar, aluminium windows and Marmoleum flooring as well as craft intensive methods such as the hand formed aluminium standing seam roofing as well as hand crafted furniture and fittings.
Whether you are considering commissioning a build or would like to assess the suitability of a Tiny Lifestyle, why not book a consultancy visit to the NestHouse which includes a two hour plus consultation - it should be a great investment to benefit from my extensive knowledge and get a real feel for what a tiny house is really like.
Shell Build
Alternatively I can hand over your NestPod™ as a Shell Build ready for you to decorate and add the plumbing, kitchen, bathroom and furniture - it's all down to your choice or budget - shell build will typically be around 15-20% less than the cost of a complete build and will take around 4 to 5 months to build. NB. VAT rates vary depending on construction, size and end use.
NB.important to understand - the shell is complete from inner surface to outer cladding including membranes and insulation
it is vital that this is a fully contiguous unit to ensure correct structural and thermal performance...I will not supply in any other form!
The image below shows a NestPod™ at this stage - totally finished externally but with the interior ready for furniture, flooring and decoration. The services are as follows:
- Electrical - fully finished for all sockets and to first fix where required for light fittings or appliances.
- Plumbing - gas and water - to first fix or second fix as required - or a mixture of both eg. the water heater could be fully plumbed but not the sinks - it's up to you!
Obviously there has to be extensive decision making and coordination to ensure the right services are in the right place for your subsequent interior fit out.
