The Brief

An earthquake-damaged property at 1/80 Perry Street, Papanui is being demolished and rebuilt as a high-specification executive home — a full knock-down-and-rebuild giving the site a second life.

Designed by OMA Architecture. The home is a two-storey standalone dwelling with four bedrooms, two living areas, and an attached double garage on a cross-lease section in one of Christchurch's best inner suburbs.

The specification is unambiguously premium: engineered stone benchtops with waterfall island ends, wide oak hardwood flooring, Bremworth 100% New Zealand wool carpet, Hagley Kitchens joinery with Blum hardware throughout, full brushed nickel bathroom fixtures, and thermally broken double-glazed aluminium joinery with Low-E Argon-filled glass. Three distinct cladding materials — James Hardie Oblique vertical boards, Genia Vertica timber, and Integra lightweight concrete facade — give the exterior a considered, layered character suited to a Papanui executive home.
