Stream Side House

Home/Projects/Residential/New Builds/Luxury Homes

Bold yet sensitively responsive to site, this house is a delight of unfolding experiences, with little of the interior visible from the entrance. Externally, materiality blends into the neighbourhood like suburban camouflage. Entering the heart of the house you are presented with the surprise of the stream side

setting. The bend in the stream has been expertly echoed in the angular but curvaceous, sculptural form. Design has been lovingly brought to each element of this home and attention to detail shows the careful thought the architects have lavished on this building. NZIA Awards

RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE

TSArchitects Ltd is the Ōtautahi/Christchurch based architectural practice of multi-award winning Architect Tobin Smith.

Tobin has formed a strong reputation in the architectural industry for his progressive designs, particularly in the residential housing and multi-housing sector. A unique blend of creativity and pragmatism has resulted in an impressive portfolio of built work spanning multiple locations throughout New Zealand and in a broad range of size and budget. Each project is specifically informed by its site, context and client’s wishes, but each carries an overarching desire to be meaningful and unashamedly ‘kiwi’.

Having found previous success as a founding director of CoLab Architecture Ltd and COMMON Ltd, TSArchitects Ltd signifies and celebrates 20 years of practice for Tobin and his team.

“Uninhabited by tradition, inspired by the past and resolutely optimistic about the future, we enjoy nothing more than making great buildings for great people”.
