An elevated site at the base of the Port Hills in Cashmere Estate is home to Aman and Div — an up-to-the-minute new build designed to balance modern form with warm, natural character. The exterior’s clean, architectural lines, clad in a striking mix of dark weatherboard and vertical timber, create a timeless yet distinctive street presence. Inside the home has been planned across 198sqm to offer generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen spaces around which family life evolves. From here doors take you to outdoor living on an expansive deck; the main bedroom also has direct access.

An ensuite and walk-in wardrobe complete the parents’ retreat at the end of a hallway in the southern wing which also contains two children’s bedrooms, a family bathroom, laundry and double garaging. For further sanctuary, a second lounge can be closed off at the eastern end of the northern wing. Thoughtful touches such as raised ceilings, scissor trusses and well-considered spatial flow enhance comfort and visual appeal. The design also prioritises durability and performance, with construction aligned to New Zealand Building Code standards and high-quality materials throughout. This enduring, endearing home creates an enviable lifestyle for its owners in a soughtafter Ōtautahi Christchurch location.
