A completely new Building system in New Zealand, developed in Kansas USA. This is a caste insitu- reinforced Concrete house with built in insulation panels. Floor , walls & roof.

Ideal for repetitious modulation & a direction of construction, away from timber technology. Offering robust, low maintenance, high performance sound & thermal insulation.

The simplicity of one material for walls, roof and floor makes the design process very liberating. Here we can explore simple full height corner windows without aluminium frames, rather the glass is placed in rebates provide a very elegant aperture to the outside. Strong geometric forms have been explored to create a dart like from that creates a protected North courtyard and the entry canopy.
