Summary
In this episode of The Passive House Podcast, Matthew Cutler - Welsh interviews Elizabeth and Everett Norris from their newly completed Christchurch home. They describe their Port Hills site on Huntsbury Hill, bought after the 2011 Canterbury earthquakes, and discuss the area’s microclimate and west–northwest-oriented design. They share challenges including long build times, working largely solo, living on site after a robbery, and more. They detail the key lessons on early builder input, avoiding rushed window orders, daylight implications of eaves, and airtightness detailing.
