Arhaus is a design + build company established in February 2004. 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.
