MSA

manufacturing sustainable architecture

msa is a new zealand company designing and manufacturing contemporary architecture with new standards and thinking.

design

MSA Design: 
Our architectural designs are innovative, intelligent and incorporate the latest in technology to provide homes that are fully automated and in which all the basic facilities of electricity and plumbing are integrated. We are contemporary while remaining true to design principles of simplicity, honesty and design integrity.
Our dedication to providing a 100% carbon zero home drives our ingenuity and has created a world first in carbon zero housing.
We're quite proud of that..

manufacturing

MSA Manufacturing
Albert Einstein once said that "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." We agree. A new architecture cannot be born from an old system of building houses so to solve this problem of construction, we needed to move to the precise and efficient field of manufacturing. MSA Manufacturing incorporates innovations in engineering and manufacturing technology. The result is a powerful combination of design and efficiency.
And, we're quite proud of this too..

MSA

considers people,product and planet

people

Human Centred Design: 
We put you and your needs central from the get-go so that we could create a house that gives you time to live your best life. That means a home with minimal maintenance, maximal efficient design, innovative engineering and no planet harmed so you can have peace of mind as well.

product

Product focussed innovation:
This means re-thinking and reconsidering a product entirely; which is what we did with housing. We redesigned the modern home, from scratch, with clever engineering and integrated electronics, plumbing, a smart automation system, and even your own energy. The result is a new architecture, MSA.

new thinking

Ethics Centred Design: 
Is how we guide our way of working. It is formed from our beliefs that
everything we do we must strive to do no harm to people or planet.
No compromise.

 

Ethics Centred Business:
MSA believes that investing in people (employees, customers and society) is how we create the best for everyone. ECB is our guide for working together. We invest and offer opportunities that create the most joyful experience for all of us. 
No compromise.
