We build the whole thing indoors.

Habitat1 started in a hangar outside Alton in 2023, after three of us spent a decade watching good garden buildings ruined by the site they were assembled on. Wet timber, missed trades, a six-month project for a twenty-square-metre room.

So we moved the whole build indoors. A Habitat1 pod is finished, wired, glazed, tested and commissioned before it is loaded. The site work is a base, a trench and one day with a crane. Everything else has already happened.
