Collaboration was key to designing an architectural home that replaced<br />

an existing house lost to the 2010/2011 earthquakes. Cymon Allfrey<br />

and don roy of Cymon Allfrey Architecture in Christchurch were the<br />

two creative minds behind the ‘Bradnor road’ home in fendalton, and<br />

were awarded the 2016 National residential New Home over 300sqm<br />

Architectural design Award and the residential interiors Architectural<br />

design Award.<br />

designed to accommodate a couple nearing retirement and pay<br />

homage to the owners’ love of mid-century modern architecture, the<br />

home needed to “expand functionally when grandchildren came over<br />

or they wanted to entertain,” Cymon says. There also needed to be a<br />

promise of connection between the house and its natural surroundings,<br />

and, just as importantly, a personal and emotional connection between<br />

the owner and house through the incorporation of loved qualities from<br />

the existing home. A sense of familiarity depicted through architectural<br />

language meant that the home has rooms “organised in a similar way”,<br />

and the grand living room orientates to the river.<br />
