Green Magic Homes began as a bold vision for the future of sustainable housing. A team of architects and engineers came together to create an innovative, prefabricated eco-home solution that blended modern design with environmental consciousness. The concept quickly gained popularity among homeowners, Airbnb hosts, and eco-conscious buyers who saw it as a step toward self-sufficient and off-grid living.
To make homebuilding easier, Green Magic Homes partnered with contractors and builders who could handle everything from site preparation to move-in readiness. This approach aimed to simplify the process for homeowners by only dealing with one person—the builder—making a single payment to them and having everything taken care of from start to finish. However, one of these partners took things a step further by registering a separate company called Green Magic Homes Australia. This entity was not part of the original Green Magic Homes company, but its name created confusion among customers.
Unfortunately, Green Magic Homes Australia engaged in fraudulent activities, collecting payments from customers without delivering on promises. As complaints mounted, the controversy caused internal turmoil within the original Green Magic Homes team. The damage to the good reputation of the name "Green Magic Homes" and the resulting internal challenges eventually led to the company’s dissolution.
Despite this setback, the original manufacturer behind Green Magic Homes remained in business. When Green Magic Homes shut down, its core team transitioned to Wonderful Structures, the manufacturer that had always produced its components. Wonderful Structures continued advancing sustainable housing solutions, and from this foundation, OasisBioHome emerged. This natural evolution, refined and improved upon the Green Magic Homes concept to create a more advanced, efficient, and fully integrated off-grid living solution.
Introducing OasisBioHome: A Natural Evolution
OasisBioHome was born from a desire to improve and refine the concept of sustainable housing. Daryl Urbanski, a long-time advocate for off-grid living, saw the potential of Green Magic Homes but also recognized areas for improvement. After speaking with homeowners, he identified key challenges and set out to create a better, more accessible solution.
To bring this vision to life, he partnered with Wonderful Structures, the original manufacturer behind Green Magic Homes system. He also collaborated with Michael Reynolds, the founder of Earthships, to combine the best aspects of both housing models. The result was OasisBioHome—a next-generation sustainable home designed for efficiency, affordability, and self-sufficiency.
Unlike Green Magic Homes, OasisBioHome comes with fully integrated off-grid systems. Solar power, water harvesting, and energy-efficient features are built in from the start, eliminating the need for costly modifications. The homes are designed to be more affordable, with financing options that allow owners to pay them off in as little as three to five years. Additionally, the modular prefabricated technology makes construction easier and more durable, ensuring a faster, smoother building process.

Key Features & Benefits of OasisBioHome
A. Off-Grid Living & Self-Sufficiency
OasisBioHome is designed in such a way as to provide true independence from traditional utilities, allowing homeowners to live sustainably without relying on external power or water sources. Incorporating age-old methods of passive design with modern technology maximizes thermal mass to naturally regulate indoor temperatures. This minimizes the impact of temperature swings, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling. The result is lower energy costs and a more sustainable lifestyle that works in harmony with the environment.
B. Renewable Energy Integration
Unlike traditional homes that require costly retrofitting, OasisBioHome comes equipped with built-in renewable energy solutions. It includes solar panels, wind turbines, and battery storage, ensuring reliable power in any setting. These systems work together to harness light and convert it into energy, significantly reducing electricity expenses over time. With smart energy management, homeowners can experience off-grid living in an entirely new way.
C. Sustainable Construction & Materials
The roof, walls, windows, and doors are constructed using composite materials such as Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP), OasisBioHome is engineered for strength, durability, and environmental sustainability. Unlike traditional wood or concrete, FRP is resistant to moisture, pests, and decay, ensuring a longer-lasting structure with minimal maintenance. This innovative use of materials results in better insulation, helping to retain heat in colder months and keep interiors cool during warmer seasons.
D. Water & Resource Management
Efficient water harvesting and conservation are essential for self-sufficient living. OasisBioHome incorporates rainwater harvesting systems that collect and store water for daily use. Additionally, greywater recycling repurposes wastewater for irrigation and other non-potable needs, reducing overall consumption. By leveraging soil-based filtration techniques, the system ensures clean, usable water while minimizing waste.
E. Prefabricated & Modular Design
OasisBioHome uses a modular prefabricated construction process that results in faster build times, greater quality control, and easier assembly. Unlike traditional homebuilding, which can be slow and unpredictable, this streamlined approach minimizes delays and simplifies construction. The walls, floors, and other structural elements are precision-engineered offsite, ensuring every component fits together seamlessly.
F. Design & Customization Options
Beyond its sustainability and efficiency, OasisBioHome is designed for modern living. Homeowners can choose from customizable layouts, premium finishes, and innovative space-saving features.
