Popular selection choices
Every finish is a choice, and every choice is already documented.
You get a selection book showing the exact product going into your home — photographed, specified and signed off before anything is ordered.
Made in our workshop
We do not order the joinery in.
We make it.
Thirty-five years of building and joinery sits behind every cabinet, wardrobe and bench in a Paragon home. It is designed with you, drawn by us, and built on the same floor as the house it goes into — so the clever storage, the odd-shaped cupboard and the thing you sketched on the back of an envelope are not an upsell. They are just what we do.
It is also why our homes fit more into the same footprint than they look like they should. Nothing here came off a pallet in a standard width.
Designed, drawn and built in Ohoka
Fewer, better decisions
The decisions are already narrowed to good ones.
Most build stress is decision stress — four hundred choices, no order to make them in, and no idea which ones you can change later. We give you a short list at each stage, in the order the build actually needs them, with the ones that are structural marked as structural.
-
01
Shortlisted
Every finish on the list is one we already build with and already stand behind.
-
02
Sequenced
Decisions arrive when the build needs them — not all at once at the start.
-
03
Documented
Everything you choose is photographed and specified in a selection book before it is ordered.
-
04
Reversible, until it is not
We tell you plainly which choices lock at consent and which stay open.

- Bedroom

- Bathroom
Streamlined
A simplified 35m² 1 bedroom.
A leaner take on Model One — same Paragon build, fewer decisions. Same trusted Paragon build quality, with a fixed layout and locally-sourced materials to keep costs and lead times down. Insulated and transport-ready, built to the NZ3604 standard.
The Streamlined floor plan is shown in full above.
What’s included
- Pre-set open-plan layout (living, kitchen, bathroom)
- Locally sourced materials and high-spec joinery
- Fully insulated and transport-ready
- Same build process and personal care
- Customisable joinery and finishes
What’s different
- Fixed layout — no structural changes
- Simplified design to keep cost and lead time down
Same hands, same care — every Streamlined build still comes direct from Luke and Troy.
