Cashmere House
Work in progress, Christchurch
Work in progress, Christchurch
Significant alterations to this mid-century Cashmere home, which was originally designed in 1975 by architecture practice Lucking & Vial.
The approach is to retain the home's simplicity and honesty, especially the arrangement of spaces, the different volumes created by the roof, the fair-faced block veneer and the timber cladding both inside and out.
Previous, less sympathetic alterations will be replaced by new interventions – contemporary but complementary to the original design.
