ABOUT US
In The Beginning…
It was an idea to cross pollinate high volume furniture production with small scale architecture. The premise was to develop an easy to assemble kit that would pack a ton of features within a tiny space. Bunkies have long been a loophole for cottagers to add extra sleeping space to their properties without the hassle of building permits. By keeping the size under 107 square feet, in Canada you can erect a structure without a building permit.
We started with a model built in my garage and quickly realized it was a viable concept.

TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE BUNKIE CO. STRUCTURE
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
