Concept
Get It Right
Replace Houses That Kill. The WHO certifies that 68% of diseases are related to the house where you live. NZ has second-highest cancer & asthma deaths and third-highest stroke rates in the OECD. Replace all homes that provide food for mould & saturate breathable air with viruses, bacteria, VOCs & radon.
Build Affordable Housing. Urban Councils located on only 0.5% of New Zealand land dictate, degrade, & devalue the rural owner’s (99.5%) productive land as the perfect alternative community housing solution. To the extent that housing now costs more than three times the average wage earner can afford.
Develop Sustainable Infrastructure. Implement the Climate Change Emergency. Cease the development of unaffordable, unsustainable & polluting subdivisions. Promote only self-owned & contained infrastructure with on-site water harvesting, sewerage disposal, & renewable energy.
Grow Safe-Food. Crops, vegetables, fruit & herbs without using toxic NPK fertilisers, herbicides & pesticides. Farm beef, mutton, venison, dairy, pork, poultry without hormones & antibiotics. Enhance the soil with ‘BioFil’ bacterial inoculants. Increase plant production with ‘N2N’ growth enhancers & protectors.
Compliance
It’s A Team Effort
Enjoy The Savings. Rural landowners can develop self-contained, off-the-grid 2000/m2 self-contained 99-year ‘Licence To Occupy’ sections for less than NZD 50,000 with 600/m2 unit titled and set aside for the individual house location and private use 1,400/m2 of community infrastructure.
Self-Contained. The NZD 50,000 budget covers compliance, gated access, road and parking, on-site potable water and stormwater harvesting, water-saving appliances, greywater recycling, irrigation, sewerage composting, waste recycling and renewable solar and wind and wind biomass energy generation.
Community Living. An optional NZD 40,000 will fund a community fishing boat, garages with workshops and storage, hothouses, garden and orchards, pool, tennis/basketball court, lawn bowls, pre-school and children’s playground, community healthcare, recreation and a hot seat business and conference centre.
Share The Cost. An NZD 400,000, 140/m2 house sited on a 600/m2, 99-year Licence To Occupy land package including joint ownership of 1400/m2 infrastructure requires only an NZD 80,000 deposit subject to landowner & bank approval. Adult occupants require a job or receive beneficiary supplemented income.

House Design
Healthier Living
Reduce Stress. It takes a visit to the poorer suburbs to understand why one in five New Zealanders will experience a diagnosable mental health issue in any given year. A further 50% of New Zealanders will experience headaches, depression or addiction challenges.
Better Health. As most people spend up to 86% of their time indoors, it’s critical that affordable, safer, healthier housing is designed and built – passive design houses with nature, away from fire, flood, sea rise and land movement hazards – sustainable dwellings built on piles with fresh air ventilation.
A Third Of The Price. Build new 140/m2 houses on ‘Licence To Occupy’ land at one-third of Auckland’s average house price. Minimalise expensive trades, save with efficient design, use sustainable materials without built-in obsolescence, save time and labour with the on-site assembly of factory-built hybrid components.
Generate Wealth. An average salary only is required to qualify for a home loan plus two NZD 150 mortgage contributions weekly from the tenants in the studios. As the family grows, the tenants leave, and the children move in. When the children go, rental from the two studios can supplement the superannuation.
Future Options
Secure Our Future
Eliminate Poverty. New Zealand’s 2.2 million full-time jobs provide an average after-tax income of just NZD 50,000, qualifying for a bank mortgage of only $200,000. With average house prices of NZD 1,000,000, the elected government representatives have dismally failed in their promise to reduce poverty.
Provide Universal Health. Design and build quality, healthy, passive, well-insulated houses built off the ground with fresh air ventilation. Avoid the Sick Building Syndrome asthma and cancer-causing radon, VOC and mould infested houses. Almost 50% of New Zealand houses have been proven, human killers.
Protect The Environment. Enrol in Our Future, Authentic Education College. Live on-site while upskilling in developing environmentally affordable, safer, healthier infrastructure and community housing utilising the Future House hybrid factory-built component systems. Build The Affordable Dream.
People Before Profit. Now is the time for our elected representatives to promote and create for our future generation housing sustainability. Promote the long term sustainability of human wellbeing through ecological, economic, political and social dimensions and beyond sustainability to abundance.
