How is New Zealand harnessing its ‘local’ talents and materials to improve our homes and why is that important?
Responding to its Banks Peninsula site, Akaroa Bach was designed by Makers of Architecture and prefabricated in CLT by Makers Fabrication.
Located on a Martinborough vineyard, On Giant's Shoulders' tasting room was prefabricated using CLT construction as a complete building in Wellington, then transported over the Rimutaka Ranges via truck and assembled on site.
Warrander Studio is New Zealand's first full CLT home, designed and fabricated utilising BIM and CNC manufacturing technologies.
