Welcome to the Tiny Life.
When you choose Mopanui Studios, we guarantee you exceptional service and advice throughout your entire build journey. Our commitment to simplicity and flexibility ensures you will enjoy the process from beginning to end. Each building is an integration of modules that are combined to last and create solutions.
It's the small things in life we truly value. Being able to create builds that serve a purpose while adding touches of beauty and design is our passion. Our work honours not only individual lifestyles but the rugged beauty of New Zealand, its climate and its future generations.
Our goal is to create modern, striking homes that add value to your life while also valuing the wild climate in which they reside and the flora & fauna within it.
The bigger your space is, the more effort, energy, and resources are consumed, ultimately wasting money. Naturally, energy-efficient homes can save money traditionally spent on heating and cooling efforts.
By designing an energy-efficient home that has a high standard of installation, the amount of heat lost decreases, and a warmer home is maintained. This can also be enhanced using solar power technology on request, just contact our team to learn more about our solar panel options. Solid timber walls made of milled logs provide both structure and insulation. Solid timber walls act like "thermal batteries" and can store heat during the day and gradually release it at night. This generally increases the apparent R-value (3.5) of solid timber by 0.24 per 60 mm of thickness in climates that have a substantial temperature swing from day to night. Because of the log's heat storage capability, its large mass result in better overall energy efficiency.
A Mopanui home isn't just a beautiful design, they feature top-performing double-glazed windows with German-made REHAU window and door systems. Excellent thermal insulation, sound insulation, and enhanced burglary resistance are all perks of these efficient designs.
REHAU UPVC lower cooling costs and prevent heat from the outside from entering your home in the warmer months, and preserves warmth during the cold.
New Zealand has a reputation for surprising you each time you open your curtains. The unpredictable weather patterns mean you could face all four seasons in one day, each influencing the enjoyment, use and functionality of your property. We believe it's essential to consider this when designing and constructing your home so you can enjoy it - rain, hail or shine.
Factors we consider when creating your climate-friendly build:
- Lower heating and cooling costs
- Increased resilience of materials
- Reducing future maintenance needs
- Access to sun and shading areas
- Rainfall influence and direction
- Wind direction and strength
- Home structure and strength against wind zones and snowfall
What makes New Zealand so wonderful is the breathtaking landscapes and the captivating areas of beauty, which is why we aim to minimize the impact on the natural location and complement the local surroundings.
Not only are we focused on New Zealand's unique climate but the changes that are occurring to the climate globally. The building and construction industry has been known to have major impacts on the environment through resource use, greenhouse gas and wasteful practice. Our building and construction efforts are committed to lowering energy consumption levels, minimising resource waste and using new techniques and processes where we can to keep our methods as eco-focussed as possible.
We use both traditional and contemporary elements to create spaces that are built to endure time and trends.
Mopanui Studios brings ambience, cosiness, warmth and spacious living to your home using seamless architectural features, well-considered flow and material combinations to create a relaxing atmosphere for your space. With a myriad of different design styles and the option to personalise your build, there is something for everyone.
