As the year is coming to an end, we would like to say thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey.

This year, we had the pleasure of supporting many talented architects and builders on a wide range of high-performance buildings across Aotearoa – all prioritising comfort, durability, and long-term sustainability. Seeing these values increasingly embraced in New Zealand is a strong reassurance that our mission and values are shared.

Project Highlights from the Year

Throughout the year, we were proud to be involved in several outstanding projects that showcase what high-performance design can look like in very different contexts.

A few of these projects stood out for us:

House of the Year contender, Rotorua

Connecting with the Passive House Community

This year also gave us the opportunity to connect directly with the wider high-performance building community. We were proud to exhibit at the Passive House Hui in Christchurch, hosted by the Passive House Institute New Zealand. It was fantastic to be part of inspiring conversations around energy efficiency, sustainability, and building better homes in Aotearoa. Thank you to everyone who visited our stand – we truly value these connections.

A New Look for the Next Chapter

One of the major milestones this year was the launch of our new ECOWINDOWS website and refreshed logo.

Our new digital presence brings together our full product range in a clearer and more accessible way. It is designed to support better decision-making and to showcase what European-engineered windows and doors can offer Kiwi homes.

 

Looking Ahead

As conversations around building performance, durability, and compliance continue to evolve in New Zealand, we remain focused on raising standards and delivering proven solutions.

We are especially excited about what lies ahead, including the introduction of TWINDOW – a groundbreaking, German-engineered window system exclusively available through ECOWINDOWS in New Zealand. TWINDOW represents a complete rethink of how windows should work: modular, repairable, and designed for longevity. With its innovative two-shell construction and SlideClick® mounting system, it opens new possibilities for sustainable, low-impact building.

Holiday Office Closure

Our team will be taking a well-earned break over the holidays.

Our office and showroom will be closed from Friday, 22 December, and will reopen on Monday, 5 January.

During this time, enquiries will be monitored, and we will respond as soon as possible once we are back in the office.

Thank You

To our clients, architects, builders, suppliers, and partners — thank you for your trust, collaboration, and support throughout the year. We truly value the relationships that allow us to keep delivering European Expertise for Kiwi Homes.

We wish you a relaxing holiday season and a great start to the new year.
We look forward to working with you again in 2026.
