But what truly sets this home apart is its performance. Designed and built well beyond standard code, this is a home created to deliver exceptional warmth, comfort, and very low running costs year-round. A carefully considered eco-brief has been carried through both the build and the finishes, resulting in a space that feels as good as it looks - and one you can feel confident living in.

The design brief focused on a smart, space-saving footprint: three bedrooms, one main bathroom, a separate ensuite, and a light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. The industrial aesthetic is expressed through exposed timber, contrasting black surfaces, and striking square feature windows - with the garage featuring exposed trusses that reinforce the home's bold, architectural edge.

Proudly featured in the Superhome Tour 2021, this home is a standout example of smart, sustainable design.Architect: https://www.architecta.co.nz/halswell

-High-level insulation in walls and roof (Knauf Earthwool)

-Underslab insulation + insulated foundation walls-Recessed thermally broken aluminium windows with double glazing, LowE + Argon-filled glass
