About us
Where it all began
Seventy Squares Limited was born from a team of friends driven by a perfectionist spirit and inspired by the challenge of rising house prices. United by a shared goal, we set out to design a collection of beautiful, architectural, affordable, and practical homes — all under 70 square metres.
With a well-balanced team that includes an architectural expert, experienced builders, and a qualified surveyor, we bring together the perfect combination of expertise to lay the foundation for Seventy Squares Limited. Based in the beautiful town of Wānaka, we proudly serve clients across New Zealand, bringing thoughtfully crafted homes to urban, rural, and remote landscapes alike.
Partnering with the best
We’re proud to partner with Placemakers nationwide, alongside numerous other trusted partners, to ensure every Seventy Squares home is built with quality materials and enduring craftsmanship.
From early 2026, new government legislation allows homes of 70 m² and below to be assembled on existing sites without the need for building consent — making our homes even more desirable and accessible.
These are not tiny homes.
These are not prefab homes.
These are architectural jigsaw puzzles.
Every piece designed to fit together with precision, waiting for you to assemble a home that’s truly yours.
The range of uses for these affordable, high-quality homes is vast — so versatile that most people will find a reason to own one (or more) in their lifetime.
