Kowai River Barn banner

This house sits in the Kowai river bed, featuring ply and cedar claddings with oak floors, doors and joinery. Stormwater discharges directly into drainage swales without the use of spouting. Large portal beams hold the structure together while a log burner with solar water make for an extremely low energy home.

Winner of a House of the Year Gold Reserve Award and Local Category Winner.

Welcome to the website of High Country Homes Ltd, designers and builders of fine homes in the South Island of New Zealand.

High Country Homes service a wide area of the South Island including Christchurch, Rangiora, Hanmer, Castle Hill, Terrace Downs and the general Canterbury area.

We have builders in Nelson to tackle jobs in the Marlborough Sounds and Murchison area.

High Country Homes has years of experience managing building projects through to completion and are members of the Registered Master Builders association.

We’d be happy to discuss how we can help you and for a small cost we can provide you with concept plans.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
