Charming country home warm and inviting

  • Blower door test result of .58 air changes per hour (@ 50Pa)
  • uPVC recessed joinery from Hagley
  • Wolf heat recovery ventilation system
  • 232m2 living space including 44m2 garage

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.
