Nestled within the architectural tapestry of Christchurch, New Zealand, stands an iconic two bedroom townhouse conceived by the visionary mind of Architect Ian Athfield.

In the vibrant upheaval of the 1960s, when Christchurch metamorphosed into a hub of creative dynamism, Athfield's designs emerged as a pinnacle of the city's distinctive architectural style.

This particular townhouse, a testament to Athfield's ingenuity, is a living embodiment of the potent energy and urgency that characterised Christchurch's architectural renaissance. Athfield, a luminary among the city's architects, infused his creation with a profound regional essence, encapsulating what is widely considered the closest approximation to a modern indigenous style of architecture in New Zealand.

The exterior of the townhouse bears the unmistakable signature of the Christchurch Style—clean lines, harmonious proportions, and a thoughtful integration with the surrounding environment. Space for entertaining, space for relaxing, space for connecting.
