With two homes destroyed by trees, this owner turned the other cheek creating a cutting edge sustainable (and tree-proof) house like no other

For this home, rural farm buildings inspired several lean-to like forms opening to a central courtyard – privacy and connection to the land result

Boasting two light-filled living spaces, a sleek, modern kitchen and flowing interiors, this stylish Kaiapoi showhome by G.J. Gardner Homes is ideal for family life and entertaining

Why have the ground below near when you can simply hang out in mid air? These cantilevered designs provide outstanding examples 

A timeless charm and relaxed modern layout are just two reasons Landmark's latest showhome is the fourth version of this popular villa-style home

This sustainable home's deep overhangs passively mitigate the sun's rays, while a gravel roof filters rainwater entering the storm water system
