Red Rock House

Christchurch, New Zealand

Maximising a challenging site, the house rises over three levels and is carved into the steep cliffside, appearing to be growing out of the rockface; playfully opening up to the sun and sky as you journey upwards. The slender, curved roof gliding over glass walls further enhances the experience of ‘floating’ and weightlessness, mimicking a sail taking off in the wind.
