Tucked away in a serene spot overlooking Sumner valleyin Christchurch this four bedroom ‘suburban apartment’ sits perched on exposed steel framing. The home features a pair of picture frame windows that look out over the valley and sea.
The spaces are designed to be efficient, however the sloped ceilings provide a sense of additional volume and space. A limited colour palette provides interest through contrast.
When approaching an interior we look at the whole space as opposed to room by room and enjoy the process of collecting materials that promote a sense of harmony. The repetition of materials, including oak flooring, quartzite, whitewashed birch ply joinery, leather & linens, promotes a sense of calm & order.
The home organises itself around the kitchen & dining area where guests are informally received giving the home a relaxed vibe. In the summer, walls open to extend the space to the exterior decks.
