A little goes a long way. Just look at this prime example in Christchurch. Beautifully situated by the water, this low-maintenance, affordable home is big on everyday comforts. Its modest 138sqm footprint doesn’t hold it back. Three good-sized bedrooms provide more than enough space for the residents and their guests. The master bedroom, complete with ensuite, is thoughtfully located away from the others. A fresh white palette keeps things simple, while wood-look flooring creates a connection with the outdoors – as do the fibre glass sea birds, which really takes flight in the open-plan living space. Glazed sliders provide a direct link to alfresco living in the form of a large wraparound deck. The design makes it easy to follow the sun or enjoy a bit of shade at any time of day. The home is fully equipped with sustainable features including passive solar design, thermally broken construction, double insulation values, non-toxic building materials, and energy and water efficiency.
It’s a hardworking home that doesn’t cost the earth.
