eHaus Euro
This energy-efficient three-bedroom home has a generous 193sqm floor area, including an open plan living space, office, separate media room, and double garage with workshop. The impressive raking ceiling in the dining area provides a sense of space like no other and flows to the outdoor living space. But there's more to this house than just its beautiful design.
This home is an eHaus Euro, meeting our premium performance standard. It incorporates thicker walls (14cm vs standard 9cm), higher levels of insulation in the slab, walls, and ceiling, thermally broken aluminium joinery, and a Zehnder ventilation unit, all exceeding industry standards in energy efficiency and environmental impact.
The eHaus Whanganui team constructed the frames on-site, ensuring utmost control over thermal bridges and making necessary improvements along the way. The result was a home that not only looked spectacular but also performed exceptionally in terms of energy conservation and indoor comfort.

About the
Professional
At eHaus, we live like efficiency is our point, and intelligent construction our norm. We live like our environment is a privilege and protecting it our responsibility. We live like New Zealanders are our passion, and ingenuity is our response.
eHaus was established in 2010 by Jon Iliffe and Baden & Glenda Brown with the dream of creating a New Zealand owned and operated specialist design and construction company using PassivHaus build and design principles.
Jon, a Mechanical Production Engineer from Rolls Royce Motors, arrived in New Zealand and looking to build a family home went seeking out alternative options and found the PassivHaus way.
Baden, a master builder of 20 years, disillusioned with the poor performance of the high-end homes he was building for clients, also was seeking other options, and discovered PassivHaus. Together, with Jon and Glenda - Financial director, eHaus was formed.
Our eHaus team is made up of some of the country's best Passive House builders, architects and designers who are redefining the way kiwis live, one home at a time. Our team of professionals work together to see your dreams come to reality.
Today eHaus is recognised as award winning and New Zealand leaders in PassivHaus design and construction. Find out more about eHaus and our teams here: https://ehaus.co.nz/
