Striking site solution: Hillview Construction
On a narrow, 13 metre site, this cleverly constructed five bedroom
home wowed the judges to win a Top 100 spot and a gold award in the 2022 Registered Master Builders national House of the Year Awards.
Entered in the New Homes $2 million to $4 million category by Hillview Construction, the build also won a gold award in the Canterbury regional finals. Constructed with a folder roof form that rises up from the entry over the kitchen, living spaces and back down towards the west, its unique design makes the outdoor landscape visible from the entrance right through to the living space.
The design of the striking 371sqm home takes you on a journey through the living space to prized views across Christchurch city.
Expanding angles are its defining feature. On the upper level, a decked area is bordered by frameless glass balustrades to capitalise on the expansive views. The stunning vista can also be enjoyed on the lower deck where a spa pool and outdoor dining area create a welcoming evening setting.
The steel theme, combined with carefully considered use of colour and feature walls throughout the property, creates a dynamic and engaging interior environment. Particularly noteworthy is the steel on the sides of the kitchen island and the banister in the entrance. The template for the banister was laser cut with a design that represents the topography of Burnt Hill, which is visible from the deck.
