Arhaus designs and builds homes that are amongst the best examples of housing in New Zealand. To do this we use architects, engineers, project managers, builders and suppliers who are passionate about high quality sustainable designs and materials, combining proven techniques with modern materials, technologies and passive solar design principles. Our commitment to you goes beyond the purchase of the house. Each home has an on-line resource website and we take care to measure moisture in critical areas of the house on a regular basis. Quite simply, Arhaus homes are houses of the future: good looking, quality construction, energy efficient and exceptional value. <br /> <br /> <br /><img width="376" height="275" src="/images/v/arhaus/arhaus_design_build_2.jpg" alt="Arhaus Design Build" /> <br /></p> <h2> <br />Home Features </h2><strong>solar water heating</strong> <br />2 x12 evacuated tube system with 300l cylinder and digital display <p><strong>double glazing</strong> <br />Double glazing helps keep temperatures higher and reduce humidity</p> <p><strong>designed by architects</strong> <br />Designed to give a feeling of space and light yet functional.</p> <p><strong>contemporary passive solar house</strong> <br />Designed to capture the heat in winter and keep it out in summer </p> <p><strong>double height voids</strong> <br />Void spaces add light and space, and help transfer warmth through the house</p> <p><strong>floor to ceiling windows + full height doors</strong> <br />For a feeling of spaciousness and light superior </p> <p><strong>insulation</strong> <br />Excellent insulation and wall materials to keep the house warm </p> <p><strong>rainwater collection <br /></strong>Rainwater collected for use in WCs, laundry and garden </p> <p><strong>advanced, healthy paints + materials <br /></strong>Modern, proven materials with low toxic content and warranties</p> <p><strong>personal home information website <br /></strong>If you ever need to get in touch, use a warranty or a tradesman, all the information is online.</p> <p><strong>arhaus moisture detection monitoring <br /></strong>Arhaus will take moisture readings at regular intervals for your and our peace of mind </p> <p><strong>power use monitor</strong> <br />A ‘Centameter’ so you can monitor your own power use. <br /> <br /> <br /><strong><img width="376" height="336" src="/images/v/arhaus/arhaus_design_build_plans.jpg" alt="Arhaus design build plans" /></strong> <br /></p> <h2> <br />Home Inclusions</h2><strong>preliminary</strong> <br />Fixed price quotation <br />Local Council Building Consent Fees <br />Builders Construction and Liability Insurance <br />Construction methods to suit Medium Wind loading and <br />Durability Zone 1 as per NZ Standards <p><strong>allowances</strong> <br />Drainage (sanitary sewer and stormwater connections): $2,500 <br />Underground services (telephone, power and water): $750 <br />Excavation and site preparation: $1,500</p> <p><strong>exterior</strong> <br />Insulated rib-raft slab <br />Longrun Coloursteel roof <br />PVC guttering and downpipes <br />Double-glazed joinery (except garage) powder-coated <br />aluminium, choice of colours <br />James Hardies Axon panel fibre-cement cladding or <br />dark stain cedar weatherboard <br />Hebel aerated lightweight concrete panel system with <br />sponge plaster finish, painted <br />Honed finish concrete block wall <br />Insulated steel pressed entry door <br />Remote opening sectional steel garage door</p> <p><strong>interior</strong> <br />Ecofleece wool/polyester insulation R2.2 in walls and R3.6 to ceiling <br />10mm plasterboard to walls and ceilings, Aqualine to wet areas <br />Internal honed block wall in entry <br />55mm Gib Cove or square stopped <br />60mm pine skirting <br />Floor to ceiling hollow core doors to bedrooms and bathrooms <br />Knobs &amp;
