Situated with a commanding view over the popular and growing Foxton Beach community, this architectural version of the barn style genre is a modern take on a timeless simple structure. This building delivers high vaulted ceilings and creates the space to accommodate a large loft space for guests or crafts.
"

After researching ways to build an eco-house we discovered eHaus Manawatu. From our first meeting and throughout the build we knew we had a committed team who wanted to deliver a house of exceptional quality, ease of living and a joy to inhabit. We needed a lot of flexibility in our home as our elderly parents were going to live here. We wanted a guest suite, and a dedicated office within a tight footprint. The designer and builder listened and came up with innovations that gave us everything and more. Would we build an eHaus again - absolutely yes!
