This new home on Mt Pleasant has been designed to replace a severely earthquake damaged existing mid century modernist classic. We have taken care to respect the original features of the building and re-interpret them in a modern fashion with contemporary materials and space requirements.

The floorplan bends on it's western face to allow mountain + city views from every bedroom and living space. The living space is accessed via a large pivot door that will be fabricated from salvaged Rimu T&G ceiling panels in the existing structure.

About the
Professional

Urbanfunction is a design collaborative based in the central city of Christchurch, New Zealand that draws on a range of skill and experience to deliver a diverse range of residential and commercial architectural projects both at home in beautiful Aotearoa and internationally.

Design director Aaron Jones formed both zerobag and urbanfunction on his return from years of working abroad in Melbourne and London.

With 20 years experience in the industry, Aaron draws on a range of global experience. From technical detailing and construction in stadium building to design, detailing and marketing of high end residential and commercial projects for both client and developer. 

The importance of Architecture and design within society, we believe is everything. As space, light and visual context affect mood and function within ourselves and those around us, it is critical we live within well considered environments. Considered not only for the purpose of which a building or product is to function but also to it's own environment and surroundings. This forms part of the core philosophy as to how we approach design.
