The Red House - Rises Once Again

Rarely has Central City made a statement like this. Not at least until now, when this "heritage-meets-architectural magic"home, materialised behind an ancient elm. With an uninterrupted outlook over Cranmer Square and just seconds from Hagley Park, this born-again masterpiece holds the very heart of Christchurchs' rich history.
With the help of expert historians, the current owners created what few have dared to in these parts: an edgy, ultra-modern mix of straight lines, sharp silhouettes, boundless ceilings and moody ambiances - all created to highlight the magic of the famous Red House.
The hero of the site, the restored Red House was originally built in 1899 by Hurst Seagar, and to this day is able to hold on tightly to its original form - oozing with nostalgia and a hundred years of finely crafted detail and ancestry. Linking the old with the highly contemporary is the breath-taking atrium; an artwork in itself, which opens dramatically to showcase the brilliance of the homes true design.
The genius in this somewhat-pioneering design, is how sleek surfaces are so perfectly softened by wooden features and a park setting; a privilege made all the better by the changing seasons, as the view from the second story lounge provides a portrait to the world.
From the ancient Matai flooring sourced from New Zealands' West Coast, the antique brown granite kitchen benchtop from Brazil, the modern highlights of echo cancelling batts, rib raft foundation and three phase power, to the income potential of separately accessed bed and breakfast accommodation, this homes story has only just begun.
