Christchurch Home.

ArchiPro Project Summary - A stunning transformation of the Christchurch Home featuring custom architectural detailing, including decorative mouldings and a grand entrance, enhancing both aesthetics and uniqueness.

Title:: Christchurch Home
Manufacturers and Supplier:: Accumen Shapes
Category:: Residential/; New Builds

Transforming the exterior from 'mundane to something special' was the addition of architectural detailing by Accumen Shapes. The custom-made decorative mouldings are evident on the columns, cornices and windows.

Along with new plasterwork, the exterior was given a facelift with the entranceway opened up and impressive double front doors added, along with architectural detailing by Accumen Shapes. 'It changed the house from mundane to something special', shares owner Candy.

'Custom-made decorative mouldings always create an element of uniqueness', offers Josh Mainwaring of Accumen Shapes. Working with specifiers, installers and directly with homeowners, Accumen Shapes manufacture custom lightweight decorative exterior details with an eye for detail. For the Harding residence DecraShape lightweight mouldings were selected for the columns, cornices and window detailing. A decorative kiln-dried product, they are coated in Accumen's unique and robust Kicklt plaster ensuring longevity. The ultimate addition, however, is the exquisite front entrance moulding, which has been manufactured in ShapeCrete, a decorative lightweight concrete.
