There’s a familiarity to its form — the honesty of materials, the disciplined arrangement, and the restraint of what became known as the Christchurch Style of architecture.
You would be forgiven for assuming that this was a Warren and Mahoney design, yet while the influence is unmistakable, the authorship is not.
The architect who conceived it, and young assistant who detailed it, both worked within that very office— translating the firm’s architectural ethos into a private commission. In doing so, they created not a replica, but a quiet act of admiration for the practice that shaped them.
· True Christchurch mid-century modern · An extremely rare, one-owner home · Almost original to its conception · Exceptional detailing throughout · Three double bedrooms with integrated joinery · Interconnected living, dining, and kitchen · Formal lounge with gas fire · Functional bathroom in original configuration · Separate laundry with WC · Double garage with automatic doors · Garden workshop designed in keeping with the home · Zoned for Burnside High and Westburn School
The apparent simplicity is an illusion — the result of remarkable precision and consideration in every detail. For a deeper exploration of its design and an alternative commentary, see the link below: https://mailchi.mp/cowdy/39westburnterrace
