A stunning architectural design in Redcliffs, Christchurch, featuring panoramic views, a cantilevered structure, and a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Cust - Canterbury, 2015.

Located on a expansive rural setting, this house has a simple plan comprising two parallel rectangular zones each containing living/kitchen and bedroom/bathrooms. Both are linked by a gallery at their southern end which passes a media room and office/guest bedroom. The rectangular zones are contained under saltbox gabled roofs with the gallery link under a flat roof.

Formal approach to the house is via a long narrow deck that stretches to bring you in and increases anticipation of entry. Ground-level south glazing on the gallery link provides the only transparency to what lies beyond. Once inside, floor-to-ceiling glass and large stacking sliders connect the main living areas with the sheltered courtyard. A boardwalk with pergola above  lies parallel to the galleries, transitioning the floor & ground levels and providing shade in the summer months. 

Two large trapezoidal cedar window seats in the master bedroom & lounge provide contemplative areas and views to the mountain ranges beyond.
