TIMBER CLAD CONTEMPORARY DESIGN

Location: CHRISTCHURCH, NZ

Year: 2018

House: 340m2

Site: 923m2

The Wroxton house merges contemporary design innovation and environmental sustainability while maintaining the emphasis on high-quality craftsmanship.

A stunning example of Dwell Homes’ design ethos the house is clad entirely in Western red cedar, stained black on the vertical and natural on the horizontal and consists of three pavilions linked by a central hallway and a series of outdoor courtyard spaces.

The combination of the two colours of cedar continues into the interior where slate look timber tiles and five-metre-high ceiling in the kitchen/dining further highlight the architectural details. The energy efficient home’s stunning bathrooms feature Techlam large format porcelain tiles, softened with timber detailing. The minimal colour palette, deliberately chosen, emphasises the texture of the raw materials, accentuates the views and demonstrates the Dwell aesthetic.

Designed specifically for the tranquillity of the site the public areas and all but one of the four bedrooms spill out onto timber decking via expansive full height glazing, linking the interior to the outdoors.

“Wroxton Terrace is a home designed and built for a stunning riverside site that showcases outstanding architecture and impeccable workmanship” -  ABODE MAGAZINE
