Building in Mapua, answered.
Do you build in Mapua and Ruby Bay?
Yes. Mapua, Ruby Bay and the whole coastal Tasman strip are minutes from our Upper Moutere workshop, and Pipin Lane at Ruby Bay is one of ours.
What suits a coastal site here?
Materials and details chosen for salt air and weather: durable claddings detailed to last, joinery selected for exposure, and an insulated, airtight envelope so the home stays warm and dry whatever the sea is doing. We walk you through the options for your site.
Do you build high-performance homes in Mapua?
Yes. Every home we build is insulated, airtight and designed around the sun, and we build right up to the full Passive House standard when the brief calls for it.
