11HW is a high-performance, low-energy design that’s both sustainable and carefully crafted.
Situated in the picturesque Sumner Beach area of Christchurch, 11hw exemplifies contemporary architectural design combined with high-performance principles. Completed in 2025, this family residence boasts an impressive nearly passive level of energy efficiency, achieving a 0.7 ACH without being formally classified as a passive home. Its design seamlessly integrates modern aesthetics with sustainable performance, setting a new benchmark for residential architecture in the region.
Designed with family life at its core, 11hw features spacious communal areas that foster connection and socialising, alongside quiet retreats that provide tranquil spaces for relaxation. Recognised for its outstanding architecture, the project was Highly Commended at the 2020 ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Awards and again in 2022 at the TIDA awards for Designer Homes. This home exemplifies Urbanfunction Architecture’s commitment to innovative, high-performance design that elevates everyday living.
