Changing lives, one tiny home at a time.
Affordable housing matters—it was our primary impetus for creating the NOMAD Cube.
Knowing that size and technology have a direct effect on construction costs, NOMAD’s husband-and-wife founders prioritized designing a small modular home without compromising quality or livability. Providing an option for DIY assembly was also key, given that labour is the highest cost component of home construction.
NOMAD also takes advantage of computer-driven fabrication to ensure that components fit perfectly every time and facilitate assembly by non-skilled labour. Comprehensive, easy-to-follow instructions allow the assembly process to be completed in just days.
Our Philosophy
Two great minds are better than one, and NOMAD’s co-founders Ian and Joie tackle the challenges of small-business life side by side. With over 70 years of collective real-estate experience between them, this dynamic husband-and-wife team brings to the table a collective wealth of knowledge and expertise in development and marketing, architecture, and interior design.
Ian explains, "Our experience in real-estate development made us realize that the lack of affordable housing would soon become a significant problem across North America. We also realized that a solution existed using well-designed smaller spaces, prefabrication, and advanced technologies—an architectural challenge that we found too fascinating to ignore."
“Skyrocketing housing costs, especially in our city, has all but eliminated the prospect of home ownership for many young people,” says Joie. "As an immigrant from a developing country plagued with glaring income disparity, I've always been an advocate of affordable and accessible housing solutions. Ian and I wanted to leverage our knowledge to explore affordable, flexible housing options for both city dwellers and those who've chosen to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life."
"Joie and I knew that our separate but complementary skill sets could provide a creative housing solution," adds Ian. "Refining our NOMAD Cube and its modular iterations over the past seven years has allowed NOMAD to provide affordability to numerous families, both in Canada and the US"
