6 Rhodes Street, Merivale - Christchurch City, Canterbury

Drawing on the tranquillity of the natural setting, this is refined living that effortlessly brings together traditional architectural references with a refreshing modernity, says Clare Chapman (Editor & Chief, Home Magazine).

Designed to impress and in a prime location directly opposite Hagley Park and the Avon River, this magnificent contemporary stand-alone home delivers a lifestyle beyond compare.

"We set out to create a series of dwellings where textural interplays meet an aesthetic defined by moments of dark bronze and the charcoal tones of Roman-styled clinker brick," architect Case Ornsby says.

Centrepiece of the beautiful open-plan living space is a magnificent Poliform kitchen, showcasing refined Italian design, premium finishes and high-spec Miele appliances to create a sophisticated setting for everyday living and entertaining. A heated tile floor flows through to dining and a relaxed sitting area, while large sliding doors push back to connect a stunning outdoor living space.

"Drawing on a natural material palette, the interior design is centred on a sense of luxurious minimalism. Elegantly scaled, the interior spaces are light-filled and decadent with a palette of Italian stone, timber and metallic accents," Clare says.

The generous master bedroom boasts a WIR and elegant tiled ensuite, double vanity, separate bath and shower featuring the latest Hansgrohe fittings. Two more double bedrooms share ta central bathroom. A separate office, powder room and double internal-access garage complete a superb layout for effortless, inspired living.

Zoned for Boys High and Girls High schools, and within close proximity to Christchurch's most prestigious private schools, this will be an ideal home for busy modern families or downsizers with the option to add an elevator adds a welcome level of futureproofing.
