Building in Motueka
Motueka's sun and coastal setting suit a home built for comfort and light. We design and build architectural homes in and around Motueka that make the most of the site while staying warm, dry and cheap to run.
Why build with us here
We have built here and know the area: the sea air, the sun angles and the sites. Our homes are designed for Motueka's climate rather than copied from somewhere else. And you deal with one accountable team from the first sketch to the day you get the keys.
Our Motueka build
The Cedar House
Cedar-clad and solar self-sufficient, two pavilions above the Motueka estuary.

Building in Motueka, answered.
Do you build in Motueka and Riwaka?
Yes. Motueka, Riwaka and the surrounding valleys are all inside our normal build area, about half an hour from our Upper Moutere workshop. The Cedar House in Motueka is one of ours.
What is a design-and-build home?
One team designs the home and builds it, so the design, the budget and the build method are resolved together from the start. You avoid the gap between an architect's drawings and a builder's price. See how our process works.
Can you build to the Passive House standard in Motueka?
Yes. We build Passive Homes, built to the Passive House standard, and Motueka's sunny climate is well suited to them. We will help you decide whether full Passive or a high-performance build is the right fit for your budget.
