How can we make high-performance, energy-efficient homes achievable for more New Zealanders?

In this episode of the pro clima Podcast, architectural designer Sharon Robinson from Smart Living Spaces shares her innovative approach - Small, Smart Spaces.

By combining the best of group housing, bespoke design, and offsite construction, Sharon is redefining what accessible, sustainable living can look like.

She also dives into the real-world benefits of Homestar-rated homes, from up to 50% lower energy bills to better mortgage rates and improved health and comfort. Plus, why collaboration between designers, builders, and mortgage brokers is key to making it all happen.

🎙️ Tune in to learn how small, smart design choices can make a big difference.
