The Meridian First Light House

The Meridian First Light House, proudly taken to America to win a podium finish in a global competition, began life within Victoria University’s School of Architecture and Design, when a small student group gained entry into the prestigious US Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon.

With a keen focus on research and design, the team set out to take on the world - to show that a New Zealand beach house could perform way better than the country’s existing building stock.
