Located in the seaside suburb of Redcliffs, Christchurch, the home overlooks the sea, the estuary, and the tall red cliffs behind.
Conceptually the home has been projected out to the water like a jetty, and the concrete block garage emulates rocks anchoring the structure to the shore. The asymmetrical roof form harks back to the seaside baches of the area.
Oiled cedar references the surrounding coast and raw concrete block represents the rocky foreshore.
