Located close to Sumner Beach, this family home has been rebuilt after the Canterbury earthquakes, and will now live on to serve new generations of the same family.
The home that formerly stood here was crafted by the current owner’s father. Due to quake damage, it needed to be demolished but many of the materials were salvaged for use in this new build by California Homes South.
The exceptional build has been recognised in the Top 100 at the Registered Master Builders House of the Year.
Incorporating the owner’s brief to accommodate contemporary living yet retaining some of her father’s craftsmanship, the builders have done justice to this stylish three-bedroom home.
To ensure it will endure whatever may come, the new 242sqm two-storey dwelling has elevated timber sub and mid floors over a reinforced 300mm thick concrete slab.
Cedar and colorsteel cladding are striking and durable, while meranti plywood on soffits and fascia add warmth to the mix. HPL plywood is a striking feature in the kitchen, both in the joinery and ceiling. Blonde floorboards are a classic touch.
Architectural details throughout this exceptional home add value and quality to everyday living.
