| 83 NZGBC: Stellaria NZ Over 25 Porotherm builds have been consented by 17 councils throughout New Zealand. The thermal qualities give the system an energy rating similar to that of a passive housing system, without being airtight, and it uses a quarter of the concrete and steel used in a traditional concrete block build. BUILDING “As a design office, we are required to tick the 50year durability box but this is barely reflected in the actual lifetime of materials in most NZ homes and we believe it should be!” “It’s the quietness, the acoustics, and the performance with little or no maintenance needed which gives people a sense of security with building, and of course there’s no supply or production issues” says Robyn. While clay-block systems are not new to New Zealand the Macpherson’s supplier Weinerberger is the largest producer of all clay building materials in the world with a turnover of Euro 8 billion. Aware of their carbon footprint the Macphersons gift their clients large trees in keeping with their builds to offset importing the blocks. Over 25 Porotherm builds have now been consented by 17 councils throughout New Zealand and as an eco-friendly system with solid European credibility it’s likely to continue to trend through the country.
