Energy Efficient Tiny Homes

The 'Kirimoko' tiny house has been designed by the Condon Scott Architects in Wanaka, New Zealand as a stylishly efficient living space for the clients. The home is constructed using the Passive House construction method and is thus ultra-efficient when it comes to keeping inhabitants comfortable amidst the Central Otago environment that can be quite unforgiving. The home is thus achieved using a series of structural insulated panels for both the roof and walls, which deliver an exceptionally airtight level of insulation without the need for any thermal bridging where a lot of heat transfer and energy loss can occur.

The 'Kirimoko' tiny house is efficient, but still manages to have floor-to-ceiling windows in the front to maximize the amount of natural light that pours in during the daylight hours.
