Discover Kauri by EKŌWHAI

A 60sqm minor dwelling that perfectly balances versatility and modern living. Ideal for AirBnB, holiday home, rental opportunities, or as a cozy retreat for extended family, the Kauri offers unparalleled functionality and style.

Thanks to our innovative panelised building system, you can move into your new home within just 9 weeks from the arrival of panels on site, a remarkable leap ahead of the usual 4-8 month build time in New Zealand.

Designed for Kiwi living, the Kauri features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a spacious open-plan living area, and abundant storage. A standout feature is the large slider that beautifully connects the home to the outdoors, promoting a seamless indoor-outdoor flow and enhancing your living experience.

Our Lego-inspired panel system delivers exceptional performance, far surpassing standard building codes. With R4.4-rated walls that exceed the typical R2.0 building code, this home ensures warmth, dryness and energy efficiency all year round. Enjoy a healthier living environment with our airtight construction that maintains optimal temperature regulation, regardless of the climate.

Perfect for all life stages, the Kauri by EKŌWHAI offers a sustainable, comfortable, and contemporary living solution. Choose EKŌWHAI for a home that combines swift construction with superior quality and modern design.
