Empty sections with good views are becoming rare this close to the city: they normally cost a bomb, or are tricky/expensive to build on due to terrain and construction access.

Our section at Lot 40 DP 10766 Wellington, New Zealand is ripe for the right development – and we’ve sweated the details on just how to achieve it.

We wanted the building to be as affordable as humanly possible without compromising on the important stuff:

  • make the most of the stunning views
  • make it easy to build
  • make it fast to build
  • make it of sustainable materials
  • make it energy-efficient and affordable to keep warm
  • make it as future-proof as we can, with consideration for solar & wind power generation
  • make it cheap to maintain
    and last, but not least
  • make it fun to live and work in

FAQ.

  • Why are we selling? We were lucky enough to find an even better section, close to town AND the beach. This section has an existing building which allows us to live on site whilst building – hence, Roroa Road is up for sale.
  • Whats with the building design? I’m an architect, and making things functional is what I do
  • How much will it cost to build? This will depend largely on who builds it – how experienced (& keen) they are in dealing with a pre-fabbed approach. A detailed sketch 3D model is available for interested parties to run past their builder / architect for costing.
  • Can there be other layouts? Sure. While the open-plan layout & finishes may/may not be to your taste, the basic shape is that of a shed – it is easy to divvy up spatially to suit most requirements.
