Modular living — two homes on wheels, joined into one bigger home.
The Urban Modular takes any two homes from our range and joins them on site into one. Two of our 9.0m modules give you a true 53m² of internal living space — and you can mix sizes instead, if that suits your block better.
There is no standard Modular. Every one is drawn around what you actually need and quoted against that design. As a worked example: two Urban 8432 modules, with the bathroom and kitchen in one module and the bedrooms in the other, comes in at roughly $260,000 inc GST.
Because every module rides on the same engineered chassis, you can also start with one and add the second later.
- Any combination of our sizes, joined on site
- A true 53m² of internal space as two 9.0m modules
- One or two bedrooms, configurable
- Every Modular custom-designed and quoted — no standard model
Two layouts we have built before.
These are two Modulars we have already delivered, not a menu — they are here to show how modules can meet, not to limit what yours can be. Yours is drawn around your block and how you want to live in it.

Lives bigger than its footprint.
Like every MicroHome, it's 3.2m wide — roughly 33% more floor area than a standard 2.4m tiny house, and still moves on its own registered chassis, delivered as an over-dimension load.
Built for the way you'll use it.
Multi-generational living
Room for the whole family — private zones under one connected roof.
Home + workspace
Split the footprint into living and a dedicated studio or consulting zone.
Staged expansion

From first call to move-in day.

Move in
Connect services and settle in. One project manager stays with you the whole way.
A MicroHome gives you all the comforts of a traditional home, except it’s on wheels and registered as a caravan (Victoria only), even though it’s 3.2m wide. MicroHomes Group has a special arrangement with VicRoads that allows us to register MicroHomes as a caravan. So if your council will allow you to stay in a caravan in your area, you can do the same in a MicroHome.
How long you can stay, and whether it can be your only home, are decided by your council and your zone — so they have to be confirmed for your address before you commit. We’ll walk you through exactly how it works for your property before you commit.
MicroHomes built and delivered the unit on time and on budget. Our site was challenging as it was steep and muddy, but they installed it perfectly. The unit was very well built with quality fit out inside. I highly recommend MicroHomes, a trustworthy supplier.
Good to know.
What is a MicroHome?
A MicroHome is a fully self-contained dwelling on a registered chassis — with a real kitchen, a separate bathroom, and reverse-cycle heating and cooling. Unlike a caravan or a typical tiny house, it’s engineered to the standard of a building: a 3.2m-wide home built to BAL 29 Bushfire Resistant standards that you can place, and move.
What can a MicroHome be used for?
It’s a complete home, so it can be almost anything: a granny flat, a teen retreat, a backyard office or studio, a holiday home, or a short- or long-term rental investment.
Is a MicroHome the same as a tiny house?
No. Our proprietary chassis lets us build to 3.2m wide — about 33% more floor area than a standard 2.4m tiny house — with closable doors for a genuinely separate bedroom and bathroom. MicroHomes are also engineered to building-code standards and built to BAL 29 Bushfire Resistant standards, which most tiny houses are not.
How much does a MicroHome cost?
The Urban Studio starts from $144,100 inc GST. From there: the Urban Multispace from $88,000, and the Urban One Bedroom from $149,000 including delivery within Melbourne metro (both inc GST). There is no standard Urban Modular — every one is custom and quoted against the design you choose, but as a worked example, two Urban 8432 modules run to roughly $260,000 inc GST. Installation is quoted job by job and is not included in any of these figures, and utility connections, site works and registration are additional.
How long does it take to build?
The build itself takes 12 weeks from the day your build starts. Before that there is a queue, and how long you wait for a slot varies with demand — so the honest answer is 12 weeks of building, plus however long the queue is when you sign. We tell you where you sit in the queue before you commit.
Do you do custom builds?
Yes — every MicroHome is designed to suit you. We work with you on layout, finishes and fit-out, within the practical limits of a home that also has to be road-legal and self-contained.
Do you offer an off-grid model?
Yes. We offer a solar-powered option as well as fully off-grid solutions for sites where access to services is limited.
Do you offer finance?
No — we build homes, and we don’t arrange, broker or refer finance. Most buyers use savings or downsizing proceeds, personal or caravan finance, or equity in a property they already own; that’s general information, not financial advice, and which one suits you is a question for your own adviser. What we will do is give you an itemised build cost in writing so whoever you talk to is working from real numbers.
