Richmond Hill House

Location: Richmond Hill, Sumner, Christchurch / NZ

This contemporary hillside family home was developed as a series of separate wings over several levels following the topography. All main rooms are orientated to north and arranged around a central court yard to provide shelter from prevailing winds, to capture the sun at different times of the day and to assist with cross ventilation of the entire house. The house has extensive glazing to capture the fantastic sea views from all rooms.
