Set in the Taranaki countryside just a stones throw from the beach this eHaus is on Air BnB making it the perfect opportunity to experience an eHaus first hand and the Kingston's who are superhosts. The exposed beams of the fabulous home give a country feel with the special wood kitchen designed and built by their son. The ecoBlock construction ensure low maintenance and excellent thermal performance along with the uPVC joinery and Zehnder ventilation.

Extraordinary heat energy savings.

Every one of our projects are energy modelled using the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP). It's through this powerfully clever tool that we can accurately calculate just how much heat energy every eHaus will save when compared to a similarly- sized typical new home, built in the same climate region.

This project is making significant carbon savings for a better environment.

We believe that our homes should have a big impact on the way we live, but little impact on the land. We've calculated the amount of carbon our homes have saved through energy efficiency from move in day 'til now. At their core, eHaus' are built with the elimination of carbon emissions in mind - so we're not only creating healthy, comfy & high performing homes, but spaces that don't cost the earth.
