Affordable housing is now available
The need for affordable housing is a major issue requiring urgent attention on a global scale.
With an increasing focus on climate change, expensive conventional construction methods are becoming less attractive with a new focus on ecofriendly prebuilt homes. here is also a significant need for adequate solutions for remote area housing
where conventional approach to construction is both cost and resource inefficient. To achieve cost effective and environmentally sustainable housing solutions, Nova Deko worked closely with one of the world’s leading low carbon research centres, The University of New South Wales (UNSW). Nova Deko and the UNSW researched the following in relation to modular housing.

Low carbon living
Nova Deko researched low carbon living solutions alongside one of the most advanced universities in the world, the University of New South Wales (UNSW).
Sustainability
Nova Deko pursuits environmental sustainability with our pods having the following over conventional housing;
- Lower building carbon footprints
- Minimal earthworks required
- Built in a controlled factory environment with minimal wastage/time
Affordability
Due to high labor costs around the world, owning your own conventional home is out of reach for many. We've developed effective strategies in our controlled factory to save on time and cost.
Transportability
Our pods can be shipped world wide. Each pod is certified for sea freight, rail and road.
Thermal performance
We've tested our pods in different climates such as the harsh heat of the Australian outback to the freezing cold climates in Scandinavia. Each pod is built to local regulations and climate conditions.
Design
Our residential range has been designed by some of Australia's best architects and interior designers. Nova Deko is also a designer bathroom manufacturer, exporting bath ware across the world. All our pods consist of our own built bathroom and kitchen cabinetry.
Installation techniques
Nova Deko has installed thousands of containers across the world from flat to steep sloping blocks. Recently we've enhanced our pods by installing adjustable steel feet on each corner. No need to cut and level steel posts anymore!
Electrical services
Our pods come complete and ready for connection. All your electrician has to do is connect to the mains and test. Our electrical plans have been designed and certified by an electrical engineer for certain countries.
Plumbing
Our residential pods now come complete with under slung drainage pipes.
Forefront of modular housing solutions across the world.
These technological advances have further developed our modules which are seen in all our new designs. Nova Deko continually deepens their research and development.
