Let's not just build another house, let's build for future generations and support your local planet...

We've all heard so many eco friendly, sustainable and environmental claims lately, perhaps we should break it down...

The word sustainable simply means able to endure and last a long time. So when we see houses made with Styrofoam being called sustainable, and these houses have a lifespan of around twenty years the words pretty much lose meaning.

There are, of course, some great systems from other countries but New Zealand is not like other countries, in Europe, winters are dry, but here, we have serious condensation which greatly affects insulation as it drops greatly in performance if moisture is present. A bit like wearing a damp jumper.

We believe 100 years should be a minimum lifespan and that if you build to last a few hundred years, it can last even longer if the home is loved and cared for. And so we work hard to create timeless designs that will be valued for generations.

Having designed and built well over fifty projects across New Zealand, Australia, Samoa, Rarotonga, China and Vietnam and we know there are different solutions for different situations and we work with each family to find the right design and building system for their build site.

And so we hesitate to use well worn terms, but I would like you to consider two words... Ancient Futures, we urgently need to be aware that building homes for the Future that could become Ancient will of great value to our people and our planet.
