NZ’s First 7-Star Homestar Rated Home

NZ’s First  7-Star Homestar Rated Home

This exciting new showhome - the very first 7 star Homestar showhome in New Zealand - was officially opened on March 31st by Minister for the Environment and local MP Amy Adams.  In opening the new home, Ms Adams congratulated Stonewood on being the first to reach this rating.  “It’s the first time a showhome has been built to this level,” she said. “This will be taken as a given that homes will meet this standard in the future.”

Behind the scenes our design team have designed a home which makes the most of its location, with excellent thermal efficiency to save you long term heating and cooling costs.  We’ve also specified materials which ensure low maintenance costs and products that will perform efficiently for years of enjoyment.
