In a picturesque semi-rural setting in Grange Settlement Road, Temuka, South Canterbury, the clients envisioned a family home that harmoniously blends functionality with aesthetic appeal. They sought a residence with ample garage space for vehicle storage, using natural materials to complement the surrounding landscape. The design needed to accommodate four bedrooms and provide ideal spaces for hosting gatherings, emphasizing a layout conducive to privacy and social interaction.

The use of contrasting colours inside the house adds a dynamic and modern touch to the interiors, creating vibrant living spaces that are both welcoming and stylish. The architectural choices, from the positioning of the home to maximize natural lighting to the strategic use of materials like wood and stone, enhance the connection to the outdoors while ensuring durability and ease of maintenance. The result is a home ideally suited for entertaining, providing ample space and a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes the most of its rural backdrop.
