Garden House

Christchurch, New Zealand

A home for entertaining and rest that is sympathetic to its neighbours by providing privacy through careful composition of building form and light. Following the site’s shape, the building unfurls in a series of enigmatic light-filled spaces within a logical building plan composed of courtyards and outdoor zones, each positioned to follow the sun’s path. Solid concrete columns and Timaru bluestone clad walls give a sense of permanence and grounding.
