Ebode was born from a shared passion for building homes that truly matter. When two experts merged—Tawa Architecture and Higgs Building Co.—came together, it wasn’t just a partnership; it was the merging of vision, expertise, and a commitment to change the way New Zealand homes are built. At the heart of Ebode is a belief that homes can be both beautiful and high-performing, where design doesn’t compromise on comfort or sustainability.

Led by Brooke from Tawa Architecture and Shaun from Higgs Building Co., Ebode brings together decades of experience in architectural design and construction. Brooke, with over 25 years of national and international design expertise, pioneered Passive House construction in Waikato, proving that homes can be energy-efficient, healthy, and timeless in design. Shaun’s years overseas opened his eyes to the inefficiencies of traditional New Zealand homes and fueled his drive to create homes that leave a smaller environmental footprint.

Together, they saw an opportunity to make a real difference by combining their strengths—Brooke’s mastery of high performance design and Shaun’s dedication to conscious building. Ebode homes are more than just buildings; they are crafted to last for generations, offering warmth, comfort, and a reduced environmental impact.

At Ebode, our homes use the latest in high-performance technologies, including SIPs construction and Passive House principles, to ensure a living experience that is healthier for you and better for the planet. By aligning design and construction under one roof, we’ve created a streamlined, innovative process where every detail is meticulously planned and built to perform.

We're setting a new standard for homes in New Zealand - Step inside the future of sustainable living.
