Development architecture with a point of difference.
Two townhouses sit alongside each other in suburban Christchurch. One clad with timber weatherboards, the other plaster finish, each has individual aesthetics by cladding choice and roof orientation. Creating internal volume and voids throughout living spaces.

We have recently completed two beautiful 4 bedroomed,3.5 bath homes in St.Albans, working together with Craig and Anna South.
Our relationship with South Architects began over 3 years ago, when our plan was to construct a large family home bespoke to our own family needs.
Craig and his team were very attentive to the idea of designing a home to love and fulfil all of our requirements. However our plans changed dramatically and we choose to move to Wellington.
Plan A ,drawings and engineering complete was abandoned but the relationship with Craig only grew stronger.
We decided that a total review of the site was needed at Chapter Street. Craig drafted new plans to show that we could actually divide the site and construct two lovely homes that actually whilst different, complimented each other.
Craig and his team spent a lot of time at the beginning of each project ensuring that all of our wish list was implemented into each design.
His eye for detail is special and his designs are simply different. Each design flows through taking into account space and light .
Nicola and myself will definitely use South Architects again, whenever we are ready to build again.
We strongly recommend engaging Craig and his team as soon as possible if you are looking for bespoke, appealing designs that still take into consideration, budget and programme.
