If you’re growing head lettuce in a raised bed, you’re wasting half your box space on water.

Buying $4.50 bags of supermarket salad mix that rot in the crisper overnight is a quiet budget killer. But planting traditional head lettuce in your garden box isn't the fix—it takes up massive real estate and leaves you waiting 8 weeks for a single harvest.

The high-ROI play: Cut-and-come-again mesclun mix.

Broadcast the seeds densely across a single square metre of your raised bed. Instead of waiting for full heads, harvest the young outer leaves with kitchen scissors when they reach 10cm.

The root system stays alive and pushes out fresh, nutrient-dense leaves every 3–4 days for months.

One $3.50 packet gives a family fresh, organic greens every single night of summer—saving over $200 a season off one small garden box.

We are proud to show the Earthcube 135. The result of several years work to create the ultimate disaster-resistant, off-grid structure.
To ensure the highest quality, I personally oversaw the manufacturing of custom-built modules, each to the exact dimensions of a 20' Hi-Cube container. This project was built across New Zealand, Vietnam, and China, utilizing specialized facilities for:
• 🍳 100% Stainless Steel Kitchen
• 🪜 Three-story integrated stairwell
• 🐚 Oyster shell roof system
I was on the ground in these countries sourcing, inspecting and ensuring every detail met exact standards for longevity. At that time we were building for Western Samoa and Rarotonga, so high resistance to earthquakes, hurricanes, termites, fire, water and security were top priorities.
The result is 135m² of precision-engineered space that functions 100% off the grid.
📋 Technical Specifications
• 🏗️ Structure: 9-Module precision-engineered steel "Cargotecture" frame.
• 📐 Footprint: 60m² base providing 135m² living/office/storage space across three levels.
• ☀️ Power: New 10,000 Watt-Hour Solar Power System.
• ⚡ Tech: Installed just months ago, utilizing the latest cutting-edge efficiency for total autonomy.
• 💧 Water: Integrated drinking water with five stage filtration and Solar hot water system with power backup option.
• ✨ Interiors: Custom hardwood cabinetry, quartzite benchtops, and integrated cabinetry.
• 🛡️ Security: High-security windows and disaster-resistant structural rating.
• 🛋️ Versatility: Includes library, home theatre/office, wardrobes and upholstered window seating with storage below.

For those who value honesty in architecture.

Most modern builds are fragile. They rely on materials that can rot, burn, or fail over time. The Earthcube 135 is the antithesis of the "temporary" house. Composed of nine custom-engineered modules (20' Hi-Cube spec), this 135m² residence is built for landscapes that demand more than a standard suburban box.

It doesn't want to be seen from the street—it wants to be tucked away in the trees, perched on a rugged coastline, or situated in a fire-prone bush zone where survival is non-negotiable.

The "Fortress" Specification:

Honest Interiors: Concrete panel walls and ceilings provide massive thermal storage and acoustic silence.

Chef’s Legacy Kitchen: 100% Stainless Steel cabinetry and Quartzite benchtops.

Indestructible Flooring: Full porcelain tiling on concrete panel substrate throughout the living spaces and bathrooms.

Unrivaled Strength: Secured with standard container twist-locks and bridge bolts—engineered for extreme seismic and storm resilience.

Simplified Logistics: Designed for immediate deployment via standard Hiab trucks; no pilot vehicles or special permits required.

The Opportunity:
This is a high-security, low-maintenance sanctuary for the modernist purist. We are clearing our final 2026 display stock this month. Originally $318,000 - now offered with a $50,000 discount for immediate delivery to the right site.

Viewing by appointment.
