This two-story architectural beauty won Canterbury House of the Year in 2016 and has crisp, clean lines with sleek architectural planes where landscape and architecture become one.

The indoor-outdoor flow between living spaces, elevated decks, and patios along with leveled lawn spaces means there is no
choice but to relax in this well-appointed resort-style residence. 

Superbly positioned on its high building platform, the house sits comfortably in serene surroundings. Embracing the heights, terraces and chip pathways create an intriguing multi-level garden with groupings of Hapuka boulders and layered planting which adds texture and colour changes to the entire space. 

With views to die for, large floor-to-ceiling windows are throughout the house. Along the key axis points, trees are positioned strategically to ensure the breathtaking views of the two lakes are captured.

About the
Professional

OuterSpace is an award-winning landscape design and construction firm that specialises in creating perfect outer spaces in both the residential and commercial sectors.

With a reputation for excellence in service, workmanship and design. Our friendly, professional and comprehensive service is backed by effective communication, expert care, attention to detail and ability to handle variations as required. We have a track record for completing projects on time, within budget and to scope. We offer clear process and details of project management to deliver high-quality outcome with best-practice solutions. There are currently 17 permanent staff members who are involved in the daily operations of the company.

The design side of the business provides:

Concept Plans: After an initial site visit and client meeting, we work with their ideas and budget to develop a concept plan, indicating the site layout and site-specific landscape features. Once we have finalised the plans, we can then present an anticipated construction program and indicative costs.

Planting Plans: From the completed concept plan we then develop an understanding of the client’s preferences in terms of style, maintenance and ecological preferences. The planting plan shows plant species, quantities, exact locations, as well as remarks to allow for further understanding of the planting palette.  

Construction Details: After acceptance of our plan we develop elevations, sections and detailed construction drawings for complex elements of the landscape plan, including engineering and product specifications. 

Resource and Building Consents: Production of all paperwork and detail specifications for any construction work which requires compliance with local authorities, e.g. swimming pools, retaining walls, summerhouses/outdoor rooms and waterway work. 

While we have full landscape architectural design capability, we have crews that work on build-only projects of all scales and can also work off supplied plans.

The build-only side of the business provides:

Landscape Construction: We provide an extensive range of in-house landscape construction, ranging from water-feature and swimming pool construction, concrete and asphalt placement, fencing and block walls right through to irrigating, planting and other soft landscaping.

Specialist Construction: With having a number of  trade qualified people, including a Licensed Building Practitioner within our experienced team, we can carry out restricted building work including but not limited to retaining walls, bridges and other specialised construction work.  

 

We look forward to collaborating with you on your next project.
