New Zealanders know how to design modern homes so much better than most folks on Earth. I'm always blown away at how Americans toss up cookie cutter homes (especially in California) vs. how other states and countries take pride in what they build and take the time to set themselves apart from their neighbors and surrounding homes. Thanks for sharing Josh!

This house in New Zealand has their walls made of thin plates on isolation, it is not rigid or tough at all. In Europe, builders know how to build solid homes with both inner and outer walls made of bricks, with isolation in between.

im more amazed how the half of the house has no concrete under it, only wooden sticks. Wonder how much they gonna sink under couple of years and moving the entire house or if they dont sink, how well those woods fight against the weather conditions.

Very nice work Josh your the best

Hey Josh dd you not have to have your decking perpendicular to some of the exterior doors for slip resistant. I like how you did it .

Отличная архитектура

Was the clips+channel for drywall for soundproofing? Did the skylight drywall couple the ceiling to the structure?

Nice work, beautiful. Can you share the floor plan if possible?

Beautiful finished product buddy, how do you find the black cupboards for marking? Ours were flat finish and couldn’t keep the finger prints off them….

I'm going to guess that termites are not much of an issue there. Seeing the wood posts directly into the ground is something that would not fly here, although in the far North, once into permafrost, foundations have to be wood.

this is riverstone terrace, upperhutt i am pretty sure.

Lovely house. Could you share any floor plan?

As an American I find it fascinating to watch how other countries build things.

Is that carpet in the garage!

Do you paint the houses in winter in the rain? How long does the foundation dry for? Here in South Africa you can buy a Woodhouse, it is known as a "Wendy House." I live in a brick house that was built about 60 years ago. Everything is over-engineered. I can build a 1st floor without reinforcement due to the strength of the walls. Then again, I must say I vacationed in an A-Frame Woodhouse, and I was pleasantly surprised in the warmth and the feeling of space with the wood around you and not cement and bricks.

i live in a woodhouse near where this construction is happening. it is a wood house(constructed in 60's) and pretty warm in winters.

Im so sad that working a job of 40-60k a year ill never be able to afford the million dollars it takes to build even a small house here

how would we get the full build plans for this in the united states. i wanna do this build here.

Когда-то в Советском союзе, мы все смотрели терминатор-1. И недоумевали, как этот терминатор проходит сквозь стены ломая их. Я знаю что наши стены и перегородки делают из кирпича или бетона. И только позднее я узнал, что американская технология строительство это плюшевый каркасный дом)). Я такой собаке сделал. Домик Элли из Волшебника Изумрудного города тоже из этой оперы. Техас, ветры, торнадо, деревянная будка)) Хотя соглашусь, что массовое домостроение даже в нашей Богохранимой стране идёт в сторону плюшевых каркасников.

Money talk, how much is the price difference, between this tip of construction, and beton construction walls??

No danger of those foam blocks compressing under the concrete slab over time??

Not a chance, surface area is too great and the concrete fully encloses them so no deterioration either.

Hey thats rough, speak to a local builder or your designer who submitted plans, cheers

I don't know why but for me as an European this kind of house looks like kids tree house. I am aware it's stable and good isolated but house without bricks, nah, not for me, thanks.

looks nice on the surface but the build quality and the noice reduction is crap in those houses they are not worth the money

What exactly is the wisdom in a house design where, upon entering, one immediately encounters the kitchen and a granite countertop protruding there like a bone? Such a flawed plan. Who would find it logical to have a house where one enters directly into the kitchen before everything else?

The quality of houses and buildings in NZ is as bad like in Australia.

It's all down to land prices and climate. Those houses are good for the place they're in. I'm from the UK and the very idea of houses completely lacking bricks is wild to me, but I imagine these builds are much cheaper than equivalent scale in the UK
