Sometimes a Good House is a Pocket House
Times are changing, so should we.
Pocket House by Goodhouse.
Goodhouse has been a leader in Australia’s sustainable building space for over 12 years. Owner and director Mark Thomas has a lifetime of experience in the design, architecture and sustainability fields. Together with practice manager Jon Hughes and graduate architect/landscape architect Eleanor Hughes (no, not related), our team has been working with good people to develop their sustainable homes, offering a regenerative approach to design and site.
Our good folk at Goodhouse have been thinking.
There are plenty of challenges to building a custom designed, sustainable home in today’s market: rapidly increasing build costs and interest rate pressure; blocks getting smaller, energy and water costs rising higher; gardens shrinking and outdoor spaces feeling less inviting; ‘off-the-plan’ home designs that seem to fill the block and an increasing divide between inside and outside spaces; and standard homes not made for our Australian climate that rely on year-round air conditioning.
Pocket House offers an innovative solution to all of these challenges.
With the design work already done, you are closer to move in day than with a custom house ‘design and construct’ process.
The cost is less due to the clever scale and because the builder has greater confidence in the well-considered repeatable construction process.
And the best bit? The quality of Pocket House is exactly the same as all Goodhouse custom homes.
Our Goodhouse team has spent the last 18 months developing Pocket House. We started with 12 years of Goodhouse experience, then designed a flexible range of smart homes for your good living.
Sometimes a Goodhouse is a Pocket House.

“We built in 2021. From the very beginning Mark understood what we hoped to achieve to take advantage of the beautiful views that we have on our rural property. The first concept plan was pretty much what we decided on. Under his supervision the build went very smoothly, and we are very happy with our new home. The under-floor heating and cooling is truly wonderful.”

“I'm lucky enough to live in a Goodhouse and I can't recommend their expert services enough. Not only are they forging a new path in sustainable housing for South Australians, they are a pleasure to work with and were professional from start to finish. In the end, they felt like family. If you plan on building, do the right thing and build a home that will positively impact our community and planet, the Goodhouse way.”

“We went the full journey with Goodhouse, from design to build, and love our home.”
