HIVE Home Innovation Village

Now on show at the HIVE Home Innovation Village, the High Performance House brings together an innovative new building system, Warmframe™, with architectural design and other sustainable technologies.

High Performance House

A big focus of the home’s design was excellent performance – a house that would be warm, healthy, energy and water efficient, with low running costs. By combining steel framing, insulation, double glazing, cladding and coatings, entire walls – even buildings – can be built off-site. The High Performance House was built in a factory in only ten weeks. The combination of products in a Warmframe™ wall means significantly better insulation than Building Code minimums.

Low or no VOC and low odour Environmental Choice approved Resene paints were used throughout. Exterior cedar weatherboards are stained with Resene Waterborne Woodsman tinted to Resene Riverstone.

High Performance House 2

Inside, the living area and bedroom walls were painted in Resene Zylone Sheen VOC Free with the hall and bathroom finished in Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen Kitchen & Bathroom, formulated with anti-bacterial silver and MoulDefender for added protection complemented by Resene Lustacryl Kitchen & Bathroom. Wet area ceilings were painted using Resene SpaceCote Flat for a durable, easy to maintain finish.

The colour palette is contemporary, light and airy. Walls of Resene Quarter Thorndon Cream (sharp neutral) are complemented by Resene Eighth Thorndon Cream (sharp white) on ceilings, trims, doors and door frames. Kitchen cupboards are a subtle contrast in Resene Truffle (soft warm beige). These colours were selected to work with the oak laminate flooring and overall interior design.

A bedroom in Resene Tasman (soft aqua grey) works with the checkerboard pattern of the INZIDE carpet tiles.
