Some places just feel good the moment you walk through the door. Though it might seem hard to put your finger on why, it’s really no mystery. Loveable homes tend to feature intelligent layouts to suit the way we live today, designs that maximise sunlight and space, and high-quality, timeless materials.
You’ll find these elements in every new home built in the neighbourhoods being regenerated by Kāinga Ora. Each makes the most of light and views, with open plan living and easy flow to the outdoors. Built by New Zealand’s most trusted builders, they all achieve a 6 Homestar rating or higher, so they’re guaranteed to be warm, peaceful and comfortable.
