eHaus Euro - PHI Low Energy Standard - Non Certified
This home is set in the heart of a growing community known as Foxton Beach. The design is timeless and provides a perfect living environment, with absolutely minimal maintenance for this family.
uPvc joinery provides excellent thermal performance, as well a corrosion protection for this coastal location. The layout is simple but practical, with a large garage leading into a generous kitchen dining living space. Two of the three bedrooms open out onto the traditional covered deck on the sunny side of the home. This provides the indoor outdoor flow that is popular especially in this location where you feel on holiday as soon as you arrive.

At eHaus, we live like efficiency is our point, and intelligent construction our norm. We live like our environment is a privilege and protecting it our responsibility. We live like New Zealanders are our passion, and ingenuity is our response.
eHaus was established in 2010 by Jon Iliffe and Baden & Glenda Brown with the dream of creating a New Zealand owned and operated specialist design and construction company using PassivHaus build and design principles.
Jon, a Mechanical Production Engineer from Rolls Royce Motors, arrived in New Zealand and looking to build a family home went seeking out alternative options and found the PassivHaus way.
Baden, a master builder of 20 years, disillusioned with the poor performance of the high-end homes he was building for clients, also was seeking other options, and discovered PassivHaus. Together, with Jon and Glenda - Financial director, eHaus was formed.
Our eHaus team is made up of some of the country's best Passive House builders, architects and designers who are redefining the way kiwis live, one home at a time. Our team of professionals work together to see your dreams come to reality.
Today eHaus is recognised as award winning and New Zealand leaders in PassivHaus design and construction. Find out more about eHaus and our teams here: https://ehaus.co.nz/
