Situated on an exposed site overlooking Manawatū’s Foxton Beach, this energy efficient 2.5 bedroom eHaus Pacific captures - and creates - stunning views from every angle. From the Tararua Ranges and Manawatū River mouth to the small serene settlement of Foxton Beach, this hilltop home offers complete respite from the sand, wind and relentless summer sunshine.
The moment you step inside, everything falls silent and still. One of the welcomed differences building an eHaus brings. Clad in vertical cedar and Colorsteel on the outside, and a combination of white-washed plywood ceilings and polished concrete floors on the inside, the material choices form a minimalist backdrop ideal for modern living.
Aesthetic cues were lifted from Scandinavian and Japanese architecture - note the custom Shoji door, negative detailing, and mezzanine floor - while practical elements such as window placement and compact, built-in seating were factored into the design to maximise efficiency and comfort. This home won a Gold and took the Category Winner at the Registered Master Builder 2021 House of the Year Competition, Manawatu. This eHaus was also named in the National Top 100 homes for 2021. Our team are incredibly proud of this project, and the awards are a testament to the project architecture, by Marty Horn from MH Architecture, and it's construction, by eHaus Manawatu.
