Downhill Skateboarding World Champion Elissa Mah provides a glimpse into her Spreydon, Christchurch cottage. She describes her home's unique style as a "cottagecore skate jungle," reflecting her love for plants and skateboarding.
Purchased in 2021, her favourite features are the large garden oasis and the sunny dining area. To maximize space, she uses a projector instead of a TV. Future plans may include a major renovation to improve indoor-outdoor flow and add more room.
