It is located in ecologically-sensitive area, Great Barrier Island, New Zealand. Surrounded by Puriri trees, Blackwoods and other natives, this house will provide a good blend to the sustainable environment.
The sustainable building was design completely opened to the surroundings, providing more natural sun daylighting for entire rooms, and good natural ventilation.

Fireplace is only used when needed to provide ambience. For sustainable energy source, this house is powered by solar energy, both for the electricity and for the water heating system.
