Who said good design must come from a named architect? While relatively rare, Calder & Sons designed and built this house themselves in 1969, producing a confident and enduring piece of Christchurch domestic architecture. Their work reflects a considered, maker-led interpretation of the Christchurch Style—practical, restrained and quietly assured.

That creative impulse became ingrained over time. The last owner was many things: an artist in his own right, a highly skilled technician, and a famously distinctive personality who worked alongside many of New Zealand's leading artists. Together, these layers form an enduring creative lineage—one that has shaped not just the house, but the way it has been lived in and understood.

• A clever mix of Christchurch mid-century & Pacific Northwest styles

• Living room defined by a stone-clad feature wall and fireplace

• Covered outdoor area offering flexible, multi-purpose use

• Mono-pitch roof animated by high-level windows and borrowed light

• Adjoining kitchen and dining with seamless connection to the garden

• Four double bedrooms, all opening directly outdoors

• Hallway with highlights creating light and movement through the home

• Bathroom and laundry separated by a WC, finished with timber detailing

• Magical, private garden settings rich in creative inspiration

• Double garage plus sheds and greenhouse for the committed gardener

• Quiet rear position backing onto Cashmere High School

• Zoned for Cashmere High School & Somerfield schools

Ingrained within the house is a creative spirit and quiet romanticism that will resonate with many. It is a place best understood in person, where light, space and atmosphere communicate more clearly than words. While it would have been easy to retain the home within the family, the decision reflects a considered release of excess—allowing this generosity of space, setting and design to become access for another to enjoy both the house and this established pocket of Cashmere.
