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.

WE STARTED IT BUT YOU WILL DEFINE IT

The first ecokit house went finally into production in early 2018. We are excited by, and proud of, what we have achieved and keen on providing an affordable, accessible, organic home that connects the concept of comfort and coziness with the functionality of a modern, ecological, elegant home for people who need it.

We are looking forward to your feedback, advice and constructive criticism. Because we aim to change the way people think about their houses, with homes that enrich and simplify our lives.

My enthusiasm for changing lifestyles, determination to change the world, devotion to a positive change of any kind, love of innovative ideas and desire to always push the boundaries organically came together eventually - and so ecokit was born. Now I am proud to be doing what I enjoy and love - helping people to fulfil their dreams of living in a comfortable, sustainable, healthy & happy home.

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.

I am very interested in energy efficient, modular, eco-friendly houses. Ecokit combines smart technology, organic materials and elegant design which at times in its creation can prove to be a challenge but also gratifying.

My goal is to share and introduce our solutions and products to as many people as possible. We strive to provide high quality, healthy living without causing negative effects to our environment.

I strongly believe that ecokit can change people’s thinking in the way homes are built and inspire them. I am grateful to be a part of ecokit, to have the opportunity to work on something meaningful that has the potential to create a beautiful living experience.

My family and I immigrated from Australia to the United States ten years ago. 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.

I am excited to now be part of the ecokit team in the United States and am enthusiastic about introducing our US customers to this innovative and dynamic product.
