This multipurpose space with full height APL suite sliding doors and a retracting Louvretec roof can operate as an enclosed extension or an open deck

It's not just the water's soft tone (white pebbles in a clear glass pool interior) that evokes a beachscape, there's the naturalistic 'shoreline' too

A cantilevered Blackbutt timber Jones & Jones Vanity is backdropped by feature Artedomus tilework for this contemporary bathroom 

For this art-focussed apartment, a wall separates living from entry and bedroom access with the end graced with a tall vibrant artwork

For this luxe, coastal master suite, a suspended fireplace offers up a warm blast from the Sixties while a fan helps circulate the rising warm air

There are sea views galore to be had on Christchurch’s Avon Heathcote Estuary and the design of this award-winning home makes the most of them
