Overview

Positioned six hundred metres above sea level, this alpine home was resolved to face the mountain and lake views to the south while defending the harshest winter conditions. So energy-efficient in operation that the owners receive credits, not bills.

 

Built using advanced High Performance Home principles, it remains warm and cozy in winter, and cool in summer, maintaining a consistent indoor temperature year-round.

But what truly sets this home apart is its performance this isn’t just a comfortable home, it actually pays the owner to live here. With exceptional energy efficiency, the home generates power bill credits instead of ongoing costs, redefining what’s possible with High Performance Homes in NZ.
