eHaus Euro - Passive House Classic - Non-Certified

This ehaus fits snugly on its rural Waikato site. The north-facing, open plan living area has many picture windows and indoor-outdoor flow to large timber decks, designed to enjoy the views overlooking the Waipa River. The owners can also retreat to a central media room away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the house, or to their Master suite, cleverly separated at one end of the home, away from the other two bedrooms. The light and airy interior spaces feature timber right throughout the house, mainly through the use of beautiful European Spruce timber window frames, nicely contrasting with other black and white fixtures and fittings in the kitchen and bathrooms.. The natural finishes of Abodo timber and dark brick on the exterior cladding mean that this home blends into its hillside location, an important factor to its ecologically minded owners.

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.

One in eight children and adults have asthma in New Zealand, with damp, cold and unhealthy housing conditions a key contributor to these statistics. This is why we are proud to partner with The Asthma and Respiratory Foundation and offer some solutions for the respiratory healthy of all New Zealanders. We share the Foundation’s vision that all homes should be healthy and comfortable while at the same time taking care of the environment.

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/
