This three unit development was architecturally designed by Andrew Evans of Intrados Architects. Whilst a minimalistic form, it does have a relatively high specification for the area. It is clad in white plaster over Cellcrete aerated concrete panels on a cavity with horizontal cedar rusticated weatherboards.

The roof has a 4 degree pitch and the spouting is cleverly recessed off the cladding to achieve optimum clearance for recession planes. The front unit is highly specified with a structural steel stairwell and connecting bridge clad with beech hardwood treads, further adding to the earthy organic feel with the granite bench tops. The rear unit is clad in a vertical metal panel that looks like shiplap, yet without the maintenance factor. The units are very warm with maximised solar gain and insulation has been increased using R4.0 ceiling batts and R2.8 wall batts, along with Daiken Heat pumps.

About the
Professional

Sugrue Construction was formed in 2005 by Steven Sugrue. It is a residential construction company with a genuine passion for building architectural homes.

Steven began his career working in South Canterbury. This is where he developed a very broad range of skill sets, as the amount of sub trades available was not extensive in rural areas. Due to this background Steven has created Sugrue construction with a very hands on approach, coupled with a real team philosophy and strong communication. Today, Steven continues to be a hands on builder, but also the project manager and client go-to person in one. It is this approach which makes Sugrue Construction stand out from the rest.

Steven has extensive experience building high end architectural homes in Queenstown, Canterbury and Sydney. In 2002, Steven chose to return to Christchurch and embrace New Zealand architectural work which he felt had more challenging design and complexity. With over 30 years in the building industry, Steven states his passion for building is greater than ever before. “We still have so much more to achieve”.
