Genuinely seamless indoor-outdoor living seems like a fantasy, until you step inside this expansive, open house on Harakeke Street - and realise it’s real. In fact, you’d be forgiven for thinking you had just arrived in Palm Springs with this mid-century-modern architecture.

Project details

  • Architectural Build
  • Architect: O'Neil Architecture - Darren O'Neil

While the footprint is large – 267 square metres including double garage ­– this is in fact the ideal home for a couple who have adult children and their own families to visit. The main house is two bedrooms (master with en suite) and there’s an entire one-bedroom guest suite. This makes it perfect for the Christmas holidays where everybody wants to be together, but also needs their own privacy.

The large north-facing exterior courtyard acts as an outdoor living room and is complete with a louvered roof for all-weather use. The marble-feel floors in the interior kitchen and living spaces exude heightened luxury, and are complimented by shist stone walls to give the house warmth. Not that temperature will ever be a problem: this house has in-slab heating, under-tile heating, and ducted air conditioning for year-round comfort.

Gregg Builders wins awards because we're good at what we do.

Christchurch Master Builders of architecturally designed homes

Gregg Builders of Christchurch builds and renovates Canterbury’s most iconic architecturally-designed residential homes.

The company's history dates back to 1939, when Christchurch Master Builder George Gregg went into business. Three generations of Gregg family builders have managed the company over the last 70 years, with George's grandson Colin Gregg now serving as Managing Director.

In the decades that Gregg Builders has been operating, building technology and building methods have changed considerably. Gregg Builders's exemplary standards of workmanship, however, remain the same.

Gregg Builders has received numerous Master Builder awards throughout the years, and many clients have come back to the company to build their second and even third homes, owing to the quality of Gregg Builders architectural houses.
