The owners of this modern marvel are living it up in Merivale. Luxe interior spaces are cleverly connected to outdoor leisure areas including a superb swimming pool. All of this is within close proximity of central Christchurch and some of New Zealand’s greatest urban parks.

Rising to two storeys, the 317sqm design maximises space on 725sqm. The generous interior plan smartly incorporates four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living areas, and separate guest accommodation. The gym is a nice addition too.

The house was built for a professional couple who have teenagers and enjoy entertaining - hence the two living spaces. Parents can dine with guests until late in the evening, while teens have the run of a private lounge.

Designer built-in joinery gives this home a unique character. Quality finishes including elegant herringbone patterns that enhance the bespoke nature of this contemporary family home.

The exterior employs a combination of cedar and a plaster cladding system. Cedar fin detailing adds architectural richness.
