SIPS Tiny house

Situated on a flat site in Mt Eden, our clients wanted a garage for their use and an adjoined minor dwelling. It was a passion project where they wanted to push the boundaries of what a small house could provide

This project used prefabricated structurally insulated panels to give it a phenomenal insulation rating, making it a passive house requiring very little energy to heat and cool.

The cladding was a thermally treated African pine by Rosenfeld Kidson
