Gunns Crescent, Cashmere

Rebuilt after the Christchurch Earthquakes by Metzger Builders; the objective of the house design was to reinterpret and modernize the design principles of the original family home. OuterSpace was set with the same objective.  The new home features a centralised courtyard that draws the inside out. Large stacking sliders provide the perfect gateway for effortless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining, the kwila deck and landscaped green spaces are perfect for afternoon and evening sun. This means not only do the internal living areas bathe in natural light so do the outdoor areas - enhancing the illusion of space, and detracting from the narrow site.  Subtle warm lighting around the exterior has been cleverly placed to ensure the lighting enhances the outdoor living areas in the evening.
