Eco Home under construction at the Parkhill sub division in Te Awanga Hawkes Bay NZ

Eco Home under construction at the Parkhill sub division in Te Awanga Hawkes Bay NZ

The structure and environmental context: 

Parkhill is a high end sub division sited on elevated land just above Elephant Hill Winery . The homes are set amongst an established vineyard and all have panoramic ocean views so it's a pretty special  area of Hawkes Bay.

Design-Build Hawkes Bay Ltd in conjunction with the developers have built an Eco Home to showcase the latest building technologies.

The solution:

Fortunately, BIOROCK has been selected as the most efficient wastewater treatment plant for the job. The outdoor landscaping is an important component of the overall design and plantings have already begun. The treated effluent from the BIOROCK filter is being reused to irrigate three different zones (one shown and two yet to be completed) using sub surface dripline.
