The 5,500m2 site is bounded by the river to the south and mature trees on both the northern and southern boundaries that were undamaged in the earthquakes, unlike the original home that stood on this site.
Each townhouse has its own private outdoor living area in addition to the communal grounds and riverside green.
One of two standalone townhouses that open directly onto the river. 
Black aluminium louvres contrast the cedar and plastered block of the exterior. 
Mature trees and planting define the outlook and sense of history synymous with the landscapes of Christchurch's Fendalton. 
Oak is a central feature in the interiors of each of the houses at Lintrathen Gardens. 
Cedar, juxtaposed here with black aluminium, creates a distinctive entry feature. 
In combination with contemporary flat roofs, the development offers an elegant aesthetic which will grow over time as the new planting develops to further articulate the garden setting.
In the darkness the houses cast perfect reflections onto the river yet despite their illumination they remain overshadowed by the reflections of the vast tree canopies and planting that dance larger than life across the water as they move in the breeze.
The riverside site spans 5,500m2, with the houses sited along the east and west boundaries to form a central green belt.

About the
Professional

We aim to produce humanist architecture comprised of stimulating and inspirational spaces and places.

We are a design-based practice that believes in providing tailor-made solutions to an individual client's needs. The fundamental objective of the practice is to develop architecture that is appropriate to its specific site, wider context and intended use while being robust, flexible and environmentally-aware.

These variables are used along with the appropriate structural considerations to develop buildings with well-suited form and style, instead of approaching the design from a stylistic standpoint.

The practice was established in 1982 in Christchurch by David Sheppard and Jonty Rout. In its 40 years the practice has carried out a wide range of projects covering many types and in numerous geographic locations. The founding partners brought to the practice extensive design and construction experience gained while working with other offices in both New Zealand and overseas. Tim Dagg joined Sheppard & Rout in 1986 and Jasper van der Lingen in 1993 and they both joined David Sheppard as Directors in 2006.

With David Sheppard now retired and Jonty very sadly passed away the practice is led by Directors Jasper van der Lingen and Tim Dagg and three Associate Directors; Matt Gutsell, Jonathan Kennedy and Steven Orr.
