Clive and Karen wanted to build a warm, dry, energy efficient home, with predictable energy costs to retire into. Their charming country, character style home sits atop a hill in rural North Canterbury. What makes this home really special is largely unseen: an insulated slab, uPVC recessed joinery, 185mm insulated walls, airtight membrane and a Wolf heat recovery ventilation system.
