The house was designed for a family to replace an existing farmhouse. Designed with distinct wings to spread the large house across the site. All rooms have extensive use of glass that allows the connection with the outdoors and land beyond.

A warm family home filled with natural light and a range of outdoor entertaining options depending on the conditions.

The kitchen/dining and living areas open out onto a mixture of covered and sheltered courtyard spaces. A large feature stone wall connects the exterior with the interior and helps anchor the main living spaces.

With a solid history we continue to take on any challenge put before us, and we take pride in creating enduring spaces for our clients to enjoy.

Whilst we hold close our interest and involvement with Mid-Canterbury and the wider Canterbury region, we have also matured into a practice that is now delivering a multitude of projects across New Zealand.

The Chilton + Mayne team is an experienced, dynamic group with a wide range of personal interests and professional specialities. Our office skill set is comprised of Architectural Designers, Landscape Architecture, Interior Design and Technologists.

Our practice culture of ‘commitment and accessibility’ are part of an inclusive client-focused service delivery. Every commission is customised at an early stage of the project to ensure the service provided is evenly matched with client’s expectations.

It is important to us that you enjoy your experience with our company, that you know you are listened to, and your needs are correctly identified and met, both in our designs and in the process of the project.

For us each design is unique, and it is our responsibility to respond to your brief and your site to form a perfect fit for the way that you want to live, work and play.

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.
