Stunning Eco Income Earner
This stunning income earning double storey two-bedroom home is simply extraordinary. Designed by multi award-winning architect Gary Todd and built to be an eco-passive home it has an exterior wall R rating of 6.7 with each internal wall insulated and double insulation in the ceiling. The beautifully polished concrete slab is also insulated throughout the ground floor and there is an amazing feel of strength in the building with an internal warmth not often seen in NZ buildings. The home has also been wired to allow for changing to off grid in the future.
On the ground floor you will find a large open plan living area with double height ceiling, a dining area on one side and a second sitting area on the other (which could be converted to a third bedroom) a contemporary kitchen is adjacent. Up the impressive staircase are two double bedrooms with decks to the north, a mezzanine between the bedrooms overlooks the ground floor and has expansive northern mountain views through the double height lounge window. The lovely bathroom has a free-standing bath and separate shower. To complete the picture there is a small media room or home office. Constructed from six containers it is hard to fault this impressive structure.
