Waikanae Residence
By Energy Architecture
The clients approached Energy Architecture in 2014 with a desire to create a beautiful low maintenance home. High up on the wish list for the project was achieving Passive house certification. Prior experience with the challenges of passive house certification gave us the confidence and freedom to push the boundaries on what can be achieved with the standard in terms of form, aesthetics & construction.
