Featured on Grand Designs New Zealand. A residence defined by its form, where elevated living meets the rhythm of light, space, and coastal horizon. Conceived from a vision inspired by Mediterranean travel, the residence was originally commissioned by a Christchurch builder with a passion for enduring materials and architectural form. Designed by architect Philip Kennedy, the home was meticulously brought to life in concrete, its distinctive towers and spiral staircase emerging gradually from the surrounding landscape over many years. A scale model of the original design, still held at the property, reflects the ambition and intent behind the project.

Elevated to capture sweeping coastal and rural vistas, the property embraces its position, with balconies and upper levels engaging directly with the outlook and changing light. Despite its sense of seclusion, it remains within approximately 30 minutes of both Christchurch International Airport and Christchurch city. Accommodation is extensive, with seven bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, several opening to private balconies.

A separate two bedroom apartment, complete with kitchen, living, and bathroom facilities, offers independence for guests or extended family.
