The Passive House Pioneer

Where it all Began – New Zealand’s First Passive House

Completed in 2012, this stunning home in Glendowie made history as New Zealand’s first fully certified Passive House. Built with airtight construction, high-performance insulation, and double-glazed Low-E windows, it set a new benchmark for sustainable living. A heat-recovery ventilation system ensures fresh, filtered air and consistent comfort in every season all while keeping energy use remarkably low. This pioneering project proved that world-class efficiency and modern architecture can go hand in hand.
