What better to do on a sunny Friday, than have an exciting initial design meeting with the school at our new 12 classroom block project!

Fancy a warm, dry, healthy and low energy home? Then perhaps you should look at a Passive House!

Respond’s @josephlyth spoke to Nicky Proffit who has written the first in a four part series, today she looks at exactly what Passive House is and why you should consider it! Link below & in bio.

A very Happy New Year to everyone out there, and a happy new decade! Our top nine consists of concepts, projects on site and completed, and some LEGO and NZ mountains for good measure; we can’t wait to have more of the same in 2020 (especially the LEGO!!)

Wishing all our friends, colleagues and clients, past, future & present a very happy Christmas! Here’s a little Christmas poem from Respond (you’ll have to hum O Little Town of Bethlehem!) 🎄
.
.
Oh little town of Auuuuuckland the time is nearly here
For lots of food, a bit of booze and general Christmas cheers
Meanwhile, Respond are wooorking still on drawings and consents,
We’re pushing hard to clear the board before the big event!
.
The past 12 months have been the best! The team would like to say,
a real big thanks to everrrryone we’ve worked with day to day!
To clients and consuuuultants, be future, past or now,
To work with you, desiiiign for you is fab, please take a bow!!
.
While we’re all looking foooorward to a long festive break,
We also look towards next year, designs we’re yet to make,
With a raft of proooojects on the board, the next year will be fun,
But we can’t wait to work with you, so 2020 bring it on!

Respond spent an hour today as a guest of @formancenz and @kanebuildgroup at one of their fantastic SIP projects in Torbay. The 315mm SIP roof on the first floor spans over 7m creating an amazing space, and gives an insulation value of nearly R9 - around 3x the building code minimum! Not to mention, those views!! 👌🏻
