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.
