Making an impactful statement on this large section in Rolleston, Canterbury, this 361 sqm pavilion style home was an absolute pleasure to design.
A schist wall cuts through the house from the entrance into the living spaces, separating off the private spaces from the main entertaining areas. This is accented with vaulted ceilings connecting to the central pavilion gable which covers the heated pool to allow the kids to play regardless of the weather.
The kitchen is the heart of every home and we have ensured that this has full control over the property so that guests can seen before they arrive and the children are monitored as they enjoy themselves.
The two outer pavilions contain the bedrooms for the children on one side and parents on the other. A double sided fire within the dividing schist wall separates the media room from the main living spaces, keeping everyone close and maintaining connection with large openings either side of the fire.
Architecture, Values, Getting it right
At Bespoke Architecture we get professional satisfaction in meeting the challenges of small and large budgets with creative solutions to build a home that is exactly right for our clients, with no wasted space or unnecessary detail. The difference between average design and great design is usually in the quality of the thinking invested and true understanding of the client’s needs and wants. An excellent relationship is sure to lead to better architecture, so we put energy into that, too.
The extra hours we invest in thinking through options and solutions are rarely billed but they allow us to consistently produce work we’re proud of. And there’s a lot of it. We park our ego at the door every morning and our sole goal is to get it right for our Clients. But we are quietly chuffed that in each of the past five years, our work has won national awards.
So what should you expect from us and why? Excellent architectural design (based on a genuinely caring attitude, strong architectural skills, deep commitment to the work), experienced and pragmatic problem solving (regulatory hurdles always need to be jumped and unexpected site issues will often crop up so we’ve become very effective at managing these), a high degree of responsiveness (clients frequently comment on this). We answer your calls and your questions promptly (fearless discussions), we bring our knowledge, skills, experience, creativity and commitment to every conversation — we’re all trying to achieve an outstanding result for you, after all.
If this sounds good and you’d like to talk to us about your project, we’d welcome your contact. We love architecture and producing an ideal result for our clients is what makes us tick.
