It may seem like an impossible dream for many young families and couples living in New Zealand, but building a new, well-designed home made from quality building materials is still well within reach.

This amazing home, constructed for just $260 000 in 2005, and based on the 'Tripod' in our Modular POD Series, was the first home constructed in New Zealand using James Hardie's new Axon™ Panel.... and the results speak for themselves. The use of James Hardie Linea Weatherboard with it's strong shadow detail and deep horizontal lines, along with the new Axon Panel's subtle vertical lines gave the exterior cladding contrasting texture and colour.

The design also includes eye-catching horizontal aluminium-framed feature windows that pick up the lines of the Linea Weatherboard, and stand out against the vertical detail of the Axon Panel.
