A modern, family-friendly home on Clifton Hill, designed to maximize stunning views while ensuring warmth, comfort, and privacy in a post-earthquake landscape.

+ OUR BRIEF
The original home on this site, high on Clifton Hill, was destroyed in the Canterbury Earthquakes.
Our clients came to us with a simple brief.  A modern, family friendly home that performed well and provided a warm, healthy and comfortable home.

 

+ OUR SOLUTION
The site is very steep, north-facing and enjoys incredible views over the ocean and city.

The design was carefully undertaken, in close collaboration with our clients, to achieve a home that maximises the views, ensures privacy and achieves our clients' desired outcome.

A series of simple block forms cascading down the hill formed the basis of the design, allowing each level to enjoy the incredible views over Christchurch and Pegasus Bay.

Professional Reviews

1 / 2

“Glenn is a talented designer who had the perfect mix of skills for our new home. He was able to bring together our wishes for a classic, yet modern, design and marry it with the very precise Passive House standards. Throughout the process, he guided us towards good design without compromising on building performance. Glenn was involved through the whole process from design to completion and ensured we got the right outcome. The end result is a home which is beautifully proportioned, belongs in its surroundings, is practical to live in and maintains a comfortable 20-25 degrees year round without any heating.”
