Rockcote Integra painted bright white, and Shadowclad stained in Pitch Black create a funky façade to this three-bedroom, two-bathroom family home, with outdoor living space in Wainoni, Christchurch.

The classic palette flows to the interior of this home, creating a cohesive whole. The well-designed kitchen boasts a Bestwood Simply White finish with a Wilsonart Pure Gloss Black Scopia benchtop, which forms the centrepiece of the open-plan living-dining area. A heat pump keeps this shared family hub cosy. When its warm out, the paved area in the backyard is a real draw card. There’s even a lawn for the kids to run around on. Back inside, a separate family room incorporates a study nook, great for homework or a home office. Double cavity sliders allow the room to be closed or opened to the rest of the house. Three good-sized bedrooms, a separate laundry, alarm system, bathroom and an ensuite off the master bedroom omplete a practical package.
