Comprised of a series of distinct volumes, stacked one behind the other, this ultra-modern Christchurch home is a brilliant response to its long, slender site.

The architect’s plans have been executed with care, evident in the high level of workmanship throughout.

The design affords the family plenty of room to move and entertain across a generous 340sqm footprint. Spread over two levels, the house features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two living areas.

Alfresco living is equipped with a louvred roof and fireplace so there’s no need to rain-check. There’s also plenty of room for sun-soaked relaxation. A lawn, pond and planter boxes maximise the outdoor space.

The elegant entrance opens to a feature floating staircase, the backbone of this home. This leads to an open glazed walkway and upstairs bedrooms. The bathrooms are beautifully tiled and well-equipped for luxurious modern living.

A futuristic feel takes holds in the sleek space-grey kitchen with concealed scullery. Could this be the new frontier of entertaining?
