NEW BUILD HOMES
Cockle Bay Passive House
This impressive 3 storey home is on track to achieve Passive House Plus Certification. Originally meant to be a high-performance home, the design was upgraded to meet passive house standards. The house has been designed to be healthy, quiet, energy efficient, and self-sufficient. Although grid tied and connected to town water, the house has a generous PV solar array, house battery, and rainwater tanks. The basement structure is insulated concrete form, and the upper floors are 140mm timber framing with a 45mm services cavity, providing two layers of insulation, and minimising thermal bridging.

“Right from the start of our project, Toby was focused, knowledgeable, and inspired confidence. Our project was quite complex architecturally, and demanding on the building team. The Craft Homes team never missed a beat, even on the rare occasions when revisions to align with the plan were needed. The team are hardworking professionals, committed to the project and the timetable, and justifiably proud of the quality of their work. I would recommend Craft homes unhesitatingly.”

We undertook an extensive renovation of this grand Remuera villa. Our main focus was to create a warm, low humidity living environment for the family by installing additional insulation and a mechanical ventilation heat recovery system to improve the indoor air quality. We also completed an extensive re-fit of the kitchen and bathrooms and improved the flow within the home.

“Not only is Toby a great builder but he's just a good guy. When you're basically living through the renovation this was important for my family and I. Toby also came up with lots of good ideas that the architect hadn't thought of and had access to very good sub-contractors. Would highly recommend."
