From $185,000 kitset
— Real Wood Homes
Built from real wood.
Built to last.
Solid European timber homes, delivered to New Zealand.
— Why real wood
Honest material. Quiet engineering. Homes designed to belong here.
01
European solid timber
Slow-grown Spruce, Larch and Pine from sustainably managed forests. Dense, dimensionally stable, beautiful as it ages.
02
Kitset or full build
Take delivery of a precision-cut kit and build it yourself, or hand the whole project to our team. Same timber, same standard.
03
Built for NZ conditions
Engineered for our wind zones, seismic loads and coastal weather. Designed with NZS 3604 and local council in mind.
The people behind the timber
We're a small team of builders and designers who have spent the better part of two decades learning how solid timber behaves in the New Zealand climate. Every home we send out carries that experience with it.
Based in Northland, we work closely with clients from Whangārei to Wanaka. Whether you need a kitset dropped to site or a full build managed end-to-end, the same hands guide the process from first sketch to final screw.
Our passion is for homes that feel honest — where the walls breathe, the joins are visible, and the material tells its own story.
— Featured plans
Two homes to begin with.
A small, considered range. Each plan can be tailored to your site, orientation and finishes.

Need something different?
We have access to a wider Italian design catalogue with additional plans and configurations. Get in touch and we'll walk you through the options.
Kitset, full build, or somewhere in between.
Real Wood Home gives you options. Supply the kit and use your own builder, have us manage the whole build, or meet somewhere in the middle. Same quality timber home — you choose how involved you want to be.
