Landscape design of an outdoor living area and pool enhancing a classic post-modern home in Fendalton, Christchurch, featuring seamless indoor-outdoor flow and stunning views of Wairarapa Stream.

Landscape design of an outdoor living area and pool to complement a classic Kerry Mason (of Warren and Mahoney) post-modern house in Fendalton, Christchurch. Working closely with the Aynsleys, the pool has been designed to provide unobstructed views of Wairarapa Stream at the rear of the property through the use of a retaining wall as the pool edge. The design includes a deck, paving, pool and spa area and an artificial lawn with a planter box. There is now a seamless transition between inside and outside with the removal of a small step and installation of strip drains to meet Building Code requirements.  The resulting space is perfect for a family who love to entertain and has become the place to be for all the children's friends.

Structural Engineering was by Calibre Consulting Limited (http://www.calibregroup.com/nz) and construction completed by JFC Limited (https://www.jfcltd.co.nz) at the end of 2017.

Further work has been completed at the front of the home, creating a sleek and accessible entryway that creates stunning street frontage. This new design provides continuity between both outdoor areas, enabling a sense of flow throughout the property.

Professional Reviews

“Dave and the team at DCM Urban Design were great to work with on this project which culminated in the launch of the Hastings Residential Intensification Design Guide in February 2021. The Design Guide has been well received by the development community in Heretaunga. DCM’s 3D images demonstrating how key design elements can be incorporated into development projects are an excellent way to communicate this information visually. These images along with DCM’s sketches and illustrations showing what the future development potential of existing sites and buildings could be, have inspired the development community in Hastings. DCM’s willingness to ‘go the extra mile’ has enabled us to produce a document that we are extremely proud of and one that is stimulating new ways to provide housing in Hastings.”
