Commanding spectacular views over the Pacific Ocean and Christchurch city, the house had previously been used only for holidays.

The brief was to convert it into a comfortable and contemporary, permanent home. The project encountered hurdles along the way, not least the two Christchurch earthquakes, but the challenges, coupled with a close and trusting client relationship only enriched the outcome.
A careful balance was found between retaining the integrity of the original design, and many of its key features, while fulfilling the needs of our clients for a dream home to retire to.
