Architecture with a story, space with substance, and a setting that has stood the test of time combine in this distinctive Harewood residence.
Designed in the late 1960s by Gavin Willis of H. Francis Willis & Son Architects, the home reflects an era when thoughtful design, honest materials and practical living were at the forefront of residential architecture. Constructed in concrete block and timber, its strong architectural character remains evident today, while a remarkably functional layout demonstrates just how forward-thinking the original design was.
Generous proportions are a defining feature. This is a substantial home set on an equally impressive section, offering the scale and flexibility increasingly difficult to find in established Christchurch neighbourhoods. Whether appreciated for its architectural heritage, enhanced for contemporary living, or simply enjoyed for the space it already provides, there is considerable potential here for the next owner to make their mark.
The location adds another dimension. Positioned adjacent to Nunweek Park, expansive green space is effectively on the doorstep, while zoning for Burnside High School strengthens the appeal for families. Christchurch International Airport is also conveniently close, making the setting particularly practical for those who travel regularly.
More than half a century after it was conceived, this is a home whose original design principles remain relevant: generous spaces, functional living and enduring materials. For buyers seeking something with genuine architectural provenance rather than another conventional suburban home, this is a rare opportunity to secure a distinctive piece of Christchurch's residential design history.
