Down

Sited on an intimate corner section, we designed this home to take full advantage of views of the Port Hills and, bordering the property, an expansive reserve that features native plantings with plans in place for thousands more seedlings. It’s an inspiring yet restful outlook, connecting Richard and his wife, Alessandra, with the land, but it’s his clever and creative design that has allowed this close connection.
In spite of the challenges of a small and narrow site, Richard’s house design creates a strong sense of spaciousness and effortless style.

About the
Professional
While the simple definition of home is the four walls and roof within which you live, the true meaning is found in the spaces you inhabit. Home is a place where you can laugh, experience and enjoy the day-to-day. It is a space you love, you care for and that ultimately you have created.
At Benchmark, we pride ourselves on helping you achieve this. Working with you to turn your wants and needs into a tangible reality is what inspires and drives us to do what we do.
