Riverbend - High-Performance House Plan
245m² | 4 bedrooms | 2.5 Bathrooms | 2 Living
Family Living, Built to Perform
The Riverbend Plan is an architecturally designed four-bedroom home crafted for families seeking flexibility, comfort, and connection. Designed with multi-zone living in mind, it offers a thoughtful balance between shared spaces and private retreats — perfect for households with older children or multi-generational needs.
Designed for modern family life
A well-considered layout includes two separate living areas, giving families room to gather or unwind in their own spaces. A dedicated kids’ retreat with its own lounge and office sits at one end of the home, creating the ideal hangout for teenagers or a quiet study zone. The master suite is thoughtfully positioned away from the other bedrooms, offering privacy and a calm escape.
Smart, comfortable living
Seamless indoor–outdoor flow connects the main living area to a covered alfresco space, perfect for relaxed summer BBQs or cosy evenings by the fire. Ample storage throughout the home ensures everything has its place, while high-performance design and energy-efficient construction deliver year-round comfort and lower running costs.
Built to perform
Like every Ebode home, the Riverbend Plan is built with precision and purpose, incorporating Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), energy modelling, and airtight construction to achieve outstanding performance. The result is a warm, healthy home designed to use up to 70% less energy than a standard New Zealand build.
A place to belong
The Riverbend Plan is designed to complement a variety of sections across Waikato’s premium subdivisions, giving you the flexibility to build in a community that suits your lifestyle — whether that’s family-friendly, close to amenities, or surrounded by open green spaces.

Why build an Ebode Home?
Choosing to build an Ebode home is an investment in your future and in the generations to come. An Independent Energy Assessment conducted on an Ebode home built with Formance SIPs and an insulated concrete slab found that it used 75% less energy annually compared to a standard timber-framed equivalent. By reducing energy consumption, you’re not only cutting costs but also making a significant, positive impact on the planet.
Building an Ebode home brings benefits that extend far beyond energy savings. Research shows a strong link between quality housing and both physical and mental wellbeing. The ripple effects of living in a healthy, energy-efficient home include social, environmental, and economic gains that benefit us all. The more New Zealanders who have access to these kinds of homes, the greater the positive impact on our communities and future.
Building an Ebode home means investing in:
Your Finances
With lower energy costs, an Ebode home helps you save, enhancing financial security. Reduced monthly bills mean you can allocate resources toward other goals, contributing to a more prosperous future.The Planet
By consuming less energy and reducing CO₂ emissions, Ebode homes support environmental sustainability and combat climate change. This means a healthier environment now and a more resilient planet for future generations.Your Health
Ebode homes are designed to be dry, warm, and free from mold, mildew, and airborne toxins. A healthier indoor environment leads to fewer sick days, less reliance on healthcare, and a better quality of life for your family.
At Ebode, you're not just building a house; you're building a home that benefits you today and future generations tomorrow.
