An underutilised backyard to the client’s existing home was the starting point of this project. The client’s request was for a comfortable, low maintenance home on the small area we had to work with. The house was built with the energy efficiency in mind and achieves many of the Passive House principles, making this home very comfortable for our clients to enjoy.

MAC Architecture. In the realm of design, our approach revolves around staying current, embracing simplicity, and paying close attention to the finer details that can truly make a significant impact. The source of our creative drive stems from the local surroundings; we aim for our work to seamlessly blend in, becoming a natural extension of the environment. Having grown up in various parts of New Zealand, we've forged a deep connection to the country and developed a profound appreciation for its stunning natural beauty.

We have immersed ourselves in the world of Passive House design, focusing on crafting homes that are not only super energy-efficient but also exceptionally comfortable. Our focus extends beyond environmental friendliness; it's about creating spaces that are not just eco-conscious but also promote better and healthier living. We are constantly on the lookout for innovative ways to enhance the quality of life for our clients and their families through intelligent and sustainable design.
