Sustainable Housing in NZ

Who knew that there were so many cool things happening in NZ in regards to sustainable shelter!  This Solar Action Innovative Housing issue (2010) has a whole lot of information, including a the results of the Sustainable Habitat Challenge which was launched to stimulate new building design ideas; this Building a Better Way: Summary for Designers document they produced afterwards gives a detailed overview of some inspirations.  Such a clever idea to use a national competition to gather research data (see page 12 of the newsletter)!  So efficient its genius!
Also, for anyone who is interested in Villa renovations, see this Retrofit and Renovation resource.
