By Guy Evans Architects
The development of this unique Christchurch site requires a special design that provides quality townhouse living close to the rejuvenated heart of the city.
Our brief was to design four adjoining townhouses on a wonderful site in the heart of Christchurch Central.
Our design takes advantage of unimpeded views to the east over the local bowling club allowing the master bedroom to soak in the morning sun. The west too has a public park that will never be built out so living rooms on both levels open out to this special 'extension' to the front yard.
Given the long proportion of these townhouses we have provide a central courtyard open to the sky that provides natural light into the core of each unit. Skylights align with the circulation path through the open plan living space.
Guy Evans Architects is an architecture and interior design practice based in Otautahi Christchurch. We are an NZIA Practice member.
Our project work is located throughout Aotearoa New Zealand within a variety of contexts that present unique challenges for our team to tackle with passion and commitment to our clients.
We are primarily focused on residential dwellings from single family houses to apartments and townhouses; new builds and renovations of existing.
We also have a broad experience in a range of commercial building types and their associated interior design.
Current projects include new houses in Fendalton and Waimairi Beach, additions to houses in Sumner and Remuera, a four-storey alteration in Mt Victoria and the repurposing of decommissioned water tanks in Seatoun into a residential brutalist concrete bolthole!
We tailor our services to suite each project. This enables us to optimize the value we bring to all our clients.
Our strong relationships with other key consultants and the building industry as a whole is vital and enables great team work throughout our projects.
There has never been a more challenging time than now for our industry.
We see this as a tremendous opportunity to make a difference.
Our creativity is well balanced with a pragmatic underlay. This allows our early investigations and feasibility studies to maximize the potential of a site while allowing our clients appropriate buffer with clear communications around the project road ahead.
Our wide-ranging experience is laser focused on the jobs at hand.
We love problem solving and understand what good design can bring to our clients.
Our design process aims to distil the essence of the problem.
This transforms the project into something that is more than just a functional building.
It will have a refined elegance that will stand the test of time.
