This brand new house has been designed by Cymon Allfrey Architects to make the best use of the site. With 2.7m ceilings to the living, lounge, dining, entrance, corridor and kitchen, this spacious house catches all day sun from the full height architectural suite glazing. It is in a sought-after, well-established but still relatively new location, retaining uninterrupted water and power throughout the earthquakes.

The house has three separate bedrooms, master with fully tiled ensuite and WIR, office space, double garage and separate laundry. It has open plan living, dining and kitchen with huge windows and large external opening doors.

Materials are brick, Linea board, Colorsteel roof, double glazing and thick insulation.

The house does not use Gib (other than Gib-aqualine in the bathrooms); rather Metrapanel is used which means almost all walls are seismic bracing walls. This is one strong house that will withstand the big one. TM Consultants Ltd have completed the structural and services design with a new slab design which is stronger than the Ribraft alternative for the TC2 land it sits on.

An external heat pump hot water cylinder provides low cost hot water at a third the cost of a typical electric hot water cylinder.One heat pump is being installed to heat the living area with a second being pre-wired for an optional future installation. Commercial water pipework and valving has been installed for longevity and quality reasons.

LED lights are used in most areas throughout the house.
The kitchen has been high spec'd to make the most of the entertainer space with copious cupboards, drawers, and Fisher & Paykel fixtures.

Whyte Construction are building this high quality house because of their flawless attention to detail. Building is expected to be complete by the end of March to early April.
