Latimer Terraces

Architects: Warren Mahoney Build: Amalgamated Builders Bricklayer: Prestige Brick and Block Laying Photographer: Ian Hutchinson (WAM) Brick: Smooth Painter 70 Series and Smooth Painter Brick Slip About the build: Composed of twenty architecturally-designed, terrace homes, Latimer Terraces in One Central puts you right in the middle of Christchurch’s newly flourishing city neighbourhood. Architecturally designed by the notable Warren & Mahoney, each home incorporates three bedrooms in a three storey layout, providing generous living space and picturesque views. Built with the latest construction techniques and materials, and demonstrating careful attention to detail throughout, Latimer Terraces have been crafted to a very high standard. Achieving a Homestar 6 rating incorporating  increased insulation, thermal modelling, effective moisture control and efficient heating, lighting and appliances. The brick cladding is our Smooth Painter brick and is a combination of the conventional 70 series brick veneer/cavity system, over timber framing and brick slips over concrete block. The bricks have been laid with a flush mortar and then a textured paint system applied to the bricks in a white shade, creating a very soft, subtle feel on the final finish. The Painter Brick, painted white, creates a striking contrast to the dark natural timbers and aluminium on the rest of the build.
