21A Weka Street Fendalton, Christchurch City

Neg Over $769,000.

Designed by Thom Craig, one of New Zealand's leading modernist architects. Known for his innovative 20th Century architecture, Craig has created another masterpiece at 21A Weka St which comes with a bonus of uninterrupted views across the park like setting of the manicured grounds and historic facade buildings of Christchurch Boys High School.
Concrete blocks present a uniform facade but every second joint is recessed creating an interplay of light and shadow, and changing the scale of the blockwork.
Full length sliding doors, skylights and walls of glass allow the indoors and outdoors to merge. The layout consists of two cubes adjacent to an atrium and linked by an upstairs bridge. Through the front door is a 6 meter high hallway, its vertical nature enhancing the 3D effect and sense of spaciousness. The layering of space and inter connectivity with the double height allows the home to be connected, not just horizontally but also vertically.
Underfloor heating and a heat pump keep the home cosy, along with double glazing, and the metal venetian blinds allow the light to filter throughout. The flooring is Tasmanian Oak in most living areas and charcoal carpet in the bedrooms.
The galley kitchen looks toward Christchurch Boys High School and has grey cupboards and integrated appliances. Downstairs also consists of the master bedroom, bathroom with bath and shower, laundry, open space living and dining areas with floor to ceiling double bifold doors opening to an outdoor dining area that catches the afternoon sun.
Stairs climb up past a curving zinc wall to the mezzanine living area which looks down over the hallway below. Across the bridge are a bedroom and a studio which could also be a games room or children's room plus there are 2 other good sized bedrooms.
Silver door single garage. This home has been professionally landscaped to complement the design.
