Threepwood Passive House

Threepwood Passive House is a small, well-proportioned and robust family home that rests lightly amid its beautiful South Island surroundings. Its bold and simple form mimics the slope of the land, while inside two levels connected by a ladder and tiny playroom create flexible spaces for work and living. Through clever and compact planning, the functionality of entry, kitchen and laundry are merged, and generous volumes make living areas feel spacious and light. Outside, a wide, north-facing veranda provides essential shading and beautifully frames views that hold meaning for the homeowners. A certified Passive House Plus with a Homestar 8 rating, this relaxed home full of warmth and delight is a strong example of how responsible and sustainable design can be used to create delightful living environments.
