A keen surfer with a love of beach life, our astute builder-client immediately saw the potential in this site, which is a high sandy knoll in New Brighton, Christchurch. His brief was to maximise the beach connection, views and privacy. Positioned on a busy corner section, we designed a ground level main entrance with two living levels above and a spectacular roof deck that embraces the sensational 360 degree views. The ground floor contains the bedrooms and focuses on the private landscaped area contained between the two wings of the home. The upper level has two living spaces centred around the entrance void and a large north facing deck for outdoor living and views. The building height is taken from the existing ground level which allowed us to maximise the elevation and beach views. The home is a mix of plaster and board & batten, reflecting the commonly used materials of the area but it’s been given a very contemporary bach feel. OUR CLIENTS SAY The house came together beautifully and we were really happy with the finished product. The house was placed on the section perfectly, utilised the space well, and allowed for plenty of sunlight throughout the house. Overall, it has been great working with Bespoke and we really enjoyed our experience and their expertise.

“We built our home in Queenstown and used Bespoke Architecture to draw our dreams into reality. We were impressed right from the beginning when they came to our section and we discussed what we would like and they then turned it into our perfect house. We found Vincent and Dan both to be very engaging throughout the entire process and super helpful with any questions we had – and we had a lot! They stayed hands on throughout the build process and we are super grateful to them for all their insights and assistance. Thanks Bespoke, if we ever build again we would definitely use you, although you’ve designed us our dream home so I doubt we’ll ever leave. Sheryl & Matt Williams”
