This contemporary Chris Wilson-designed Christchurch home delivers big-time on functional family living and easy entertaining. Brace yourself for an unbelievable 700sqm of luxurious interiors with sweeping views north. Six bedrooms, four bathrooms and three living spaces truly accommodate all needs.

Cedar doors open into a breathtaking double-height entrance. With its cantilevered geometric stairs, this space is a sculptural statement. Carrara marble and curved glass flow up to a suspended bridge which connects the two upper bedroom wings.

Alfresco living is a breeze. A motorised louvre roof provides shelter to the exterior living area with its outdoor fire. Balconies serve the top floor. The interior features a fully ducted heating and cooling system. Gas fires burn in elegant stone hearths. Lighting phases are controlled from a central unit to keep things simple.

The selection of durable exterior cladding materials – concrete, plaster and stone – exudes classic style and appealing simplicity. Oak and marble add a touch of luxury inside this superbly appointed home.
