The HIVE showcased a range of ten high-quality, sustainable, well-designed prefabricated houses at Canterbury Agricultural Park from April 2012 to November 2014.

This project was brought to life through close collaboration with twenty-eight sponsoring partners providing in-kind, discounted or funding assistance. At the heart of HIVE was the enthusiasm of key housing teams. Their time and energy enabled this unique opportunity to showcase prefabrication to Cantabrians and a wide range of New Zealanders; members of the public, construction industry professionals, local and central government.

The houses showcased were:

1. Park Terrace House by Keith Hay Homes + Architex
2. Littlewing by Lockwood Homes
   
3. Rakaia House by Falcon Construction
4. The Smart House bu Laing Homes + Wilson & Hill Architects
5. Waipoa House by Module NZ
6. Toi Toi House by Ekohome
7. High Performance House by Warmframe + Salmond Architecture
8. The Kiosk by BART
9. Mypad by Portabuild
10. Click-Raft by CMA+U
    

HIVE CH is now closed to the public. A commemorative book has been published to document the process, case studies, learning and look to the future - please contact us if you are interested in a copy.

The next HIVE will be in a major North Island city - we will keep you posted!
