Concrete Copper Home banner

With a beautiful outlook towards a stream in suburban Christchurch, this home enjoys a natural material palette of concrete, copper and timber.

Lineal concrete forms are staggered along the site giving occupants access to sun throughout the day, held together by the sculptural roof. The copper raises from the ground at the entry in the West stretching up over the living spaces to encapsulate the first floor sleeping quarters. The copper form is extruded front to back, exposing an undercroft of rich timber.

About the
Professional

Welcome to our award winning architectural and interior design practice.

Led by Craig South, our friendly professional team is dedicated to crafting for uniqueness and producing carefully considered architecture that will endure and be loved.

At South Architects, every project has a unique story. This story starts and ends with our clients, whose values and aspirations fundamentally empower and inspire our whole design process.

Working together with our clients is pivotal to how we operate and we share a passion for innovation in design.

We invite you to meet us and explore what we can do for you. As you will discover, our client focussed process is thorough, robust and responsive.

We see architecture as the culmination of a journey with you. As we get to know you, so we begin the design process that responds with creativity and flair to your ideas and requirements. Our journey together is also shaped by awareness of the environment and location, with all elements working harmoniously together to create beautiful and functional architecture.

We understand that the experience of designing a new home is a life changing journey and we seek to make the experience as stress-free and fun as possible by celebrating milestones along the way and keeping you well-informed on progress.We look forward to meeting you, working alongside you and sharing in your journey.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
