Description
Welcome to a smarter way of living — a home that stays warm in winter, cool in summer, and costs far less to run. Located in the sought-after Te Awa Rise subdivision, this home doesn’t just look good, but dramatically reduces energy use and running costs.
Designed on a 535m² section, this home has been carefully designed to maximise warmth, natural light and efficiency — delivering up to 70% lower energy use compared to a standard New Zealand home.
This three-bedroom home centres everyday living around an open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge, flowing seamlessly to an outdoor living area — perfect for summer BBQs and relaxed evenings by the fire.
A tucked-away media room offers a quiet retreat for movie nights or a space for kids to unwind, while the master suite, complete with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, is positioned privately away from the other bedrooms.
Thoughtful features such as a scullery and a workshop area in the garage help keep daily life organised and effortless.
This is not a “standard build with upgrades”. The home is designed from day one to use Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) and Passive House-inspired principles to create a warmer, healthier, quieter living environment year-round.
Why This Home Is Different Most new homes meet minimum building code. This home goes well beyond it.
- Energy modelled design
- Airtight, highly insulated SIPs construction
- Blower door tested for verified performance
- Consistent indoor temperatures with minimal heating or cooling
- Lower power bills, improved air quality, and long-term comfort
