Project Team: Craig South and Simon Pitcaithly
Status: Construction
Construction Team: Metzger Builders Limited
Location: North Canterbury
Soft sculpted plaster forms are interrupted by a weathered corten steel incision, creating a clear point of arrival and organising the home's spatial sequence. Open-plan living spaces and carefully positioned openings bring in natural light and maintain a strong visual connection to the surrounding landscape.
Designed to support evolving family life, the home offers flexible, comfortable spaces that adapt over time while maintaining a strong relationship to outdoor living. A restrained material palette and considered detailing emphasise clarity, durability, and cohesion.
The result is a refined rural home where architecture and landscape are seamlessly connected, creating a timeless setting for everyday family living and long-term memory making.
Set within the rural landscapes of Canterbury, this contemporary family home is designed as a calm and enduring retreat that connects modern living with its natural surroundings.
