+ OUR BRIEF
The original home on this site, high on Clifton Hill, was destroyed in the Canterbury Earthquakes.
Our clients came to us with a simple brief.  A modern, family friendly home that performed well and provided a warm, healthy and comfortable home.

 

+ OUR SOLUTION
The site is very steep, north-facing and enjoys incredible views over the ocean and city.

The design was carefully undertaken, in close collaboration with our clients, to achieve a home that maximises the views, ensures privacy and achieves our clients' desired outcome.

A series of simple block forms cascading down the hill formed the basis of the design, allowing each level to enjoy the incredible views over Christchurch and Pegasus Bay.

About the
Professional

Our work is based on a simple philosophy.

Architecture cannot be excellent unless it provides a healthy environment for people.

Our architecture is excellent.

Everything we do is aimed at providing both architectural excellence and healthy buildings.

No compromise.

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.
