Ahikā Housing Complex - He Waka Tapu

He Waka Tapu and Cook Brothers Construction celebrate the opening of the Ahikā affordable housing project. A complex of 10 Affordable town houses on Shortland Street in Wainoni, Christchurch East.

This initiative was more than just a construction project; it's a journey towards creating a vibrant and sustainable community for local whānau and the wider community. Designed with the community in mind, these homes offer a unique blend of modern amenities and sustainable living, guided by kaupapa Māori values.

These homes feature modern interiors with freshly painted walls, high-quality joinery and fittings, and come equipped with heat pumps, vinyl flooring, and carpeted bedrooms. The stylish bathrooms are fitted with shower glass enclosures and bathroom hardware, and the fully functional kitchens are complete with whiteware installations, glass splashbacks, and ample storage.

Emphasising sustainable living, the homes are equipped with solar panels for energy efficiency. Outdoor spaces include paved pathways, landscaped gardens, and dedicated bike stands.
