eHaus Euro - Passive House Classic - Non Certified
This four bedroom eHaus Euro fits to the natural contours of the site with north facing windows making the most of the rural views. The high performance wood aluminium European joinery is a feature throughout the home and further timber features are echoed in the extensive built in joinery in both the kitchen and living areas.
This home has a 5 kw PV solar system, supplying the home, which is also battery ready for the future. Aluminium shading screens have been added to gable ends, complementing the dark cedar and block exterior cladding. Extensive timber decking areas on the north and east allow easy indoor/outdoor living with a sheltered enclosure to enjoy the outdoor fireplace.

About the
Professional
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/
