ARCHIFYNOW
This redevelopment project explores the love and memory a retired couple have of a home and site they have occupied for over thirty years.
In the wake of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, a two-level, 1910 home was destroyed and subsequently demolished. A new home was required within the footprint of the original. An existing formal garden adorned the level site and was to remain untouched for the new home. Due to the owner’s established, sub-conscious connection to the site, elements such as sitting and space, were asked to be at the forefront of the redeveloped home.
The new home looks to honour the memory of spatial relationships, outlook and form of the original home, by enhancing and celebrating these conditions. For the owner, the home looks to cross the divide from historic (memory) to imminent (future).
