A modern rebuild along the Avon River, transforming a damaged home into a crisp, contemporary space while preserving key landscape elements from the original design.
This project was an earthquake rebuild. The site is located on the banks of the Avon River with the original home suffering major damage during the Christchurch Earthquake of 2011. Goom Landscapes had designed and constructed the pre-earthquake landscape and were the client’s first choice for the rebuild. The new house was a much more modern space, however, as with the previous lines and surfaces were to be very crisp and clean.
Everything bar the sunken courtyard and jetty on the river’s edge and boundary walls were removed from the site. Some peripheral planting was retained whilst other plants including the conifers along the driveway and tree ferns were removed, maintained in the Goom nursery throughout the build, and then replanted in the final design over a year later.
