Oxford Terrace, Wellington | UNO Windows & Doors

UNO contributed significantly to Kāinga Ora's project, enriching the three-story fully insulated homes.

The primary goal of the Epuni development plan encompassed:

Building 32 modern, warm, and dry homes, predominantly one bedroom homes with a complement of three and four bedroom residences.
Provide homes with low maintenance and fully insulated equipped with Low E double glazing.
A gateway to homeownership, this affordable construction was facilitated, particularly for first-time buyers.
Enhancing a new standard in neighbourhood refinement by improving the construction style.
Mandating a Homestar rating of 6 for all homes, indicating they surpass the existing New Zealand building code standards.
