From a German perspective, I am always surprised how much our house construction in Germany/Europe differs from so many house construction techniques in the world. This house in the video is actually made of wood with some panelling. Even the simplest houses in Germany are built with massive concrete walls. I really wonder how this very different construction technique came about. Because there is not such a huge difference in temperature between Germany and New Zealand. On average, Germany is perhaps 3-4 degrees Celsius colder than New Zealand. But I can hardly imagine whether that justifies the building site, which is much more massive. There is also no house in Germany without a basement, which seems to be unusual in many other countries.

As an American construction management student I have so many questions, but found this build to be very unique and educational. Very different plans in NZ compared to here in North America.

Honestly, watching those videos make me think "mhh doesn´t look to difficult" and "i could do that myself" while in reality i´d never be able to :D

I like it, the layout is simple, but functional! The house is very well integrated into the landscape, the style is in harmony with nature. Nothing superfluous! Cool!

Very lovely structure.
Very tastefully modern with a very inviting cabin feel to it.

Questions. So many questions. Why the wood pilings under the foundation? The framing was obviously pre-assembled, but what is the pink stain? Is that some sort of insect/water proofing or simply the supplier's mark? All the cross members between the studs gives significant racking strength. Earthquake requirement? Is rockwool insulation typical in NZ? Is the sheathing bonded to a foam layer like the ZIP system in the States? Taping the seams? I would have loved to see a window install detail to see how water-proofing is achieved. Would have also liked to see the rain screen install under the rock facade.

Awesome work! Absolutely love this video!

I'm surprised that you had fine weather in Upper Hutt. All jokes aside, that's probably the best place to build up that way

[Tangaroa]

Only thing with building in NZ is wait time for materials plus the cost of materials. Red tape that the local government put in place

never knew new zealand has pink trees... very cool

[resmisu]

[Luckyy_Dawg]

I’d like to know how much something like this would cost! Super cool house!

I now believe that every country have different ways of building a house, here in my country a $2Million home is like a mansion already and everything is built with concrete and steel, the wood are only use for the mold and frame of the house except for the doors of course. Anyway the build is great, good job.

What was the cost to build this place not including land?

[georgedavis]

Pink wood, wow they are taking over the world I see
