This striking family home is the South Islands first certified Passive House Plus

  • Designed, built and certified to Passive House Plus standard
  • Blower door test result of .39 air changes per hour (@ 50Pa)
  • Triple-glazed, timber framed windows by Thermadura
  • Wolf ventilation system
  • 144m2 living space + 40m2 garage + 18m2 covered deck

This modern family home equally balances form and function. Beautifully clad in vertical Cedar timber and Hiland Tray, solar panels on the north-facing roof generate enough power to supply the houses energy needs. Shutters on north facing windows prevent over-heating in the summer.
