The post-earthquake Christchurch home has
strong Allied SuperSlab foundations, a wood
frame and rugged Longrun Colorsteel roofing.
Inside, the house becomes ‘la maison’ with
deft touches creating the French look required.
The kitchen has a French provincial aesthetic
with rugged appliances, cast iron cabinet han-
dles, a wood benchtop and rustic tile splashback.
The plank floor adds to the French feel, as does the
crafted cabinetry in the open-plan living spaces.
In terms of functionality, the pavilion home
is well organised, warm and quiet. The double
garage and open-plan living spaces are to the
left of entry and the three bedrooms and study
on the right. The home also has two bathrooms.
With gas hot water, a fire, a ceiling cassette
heatpump and carpet in key areas, the home is
a perfect match for the local changeable climate.
“We are very proud that 95% of our work
is from repeat business,” says Stanicich. “And
we want all clients, including those new to this
country, to have the confidence to build with us.”

of this home by Fowler Homes
Christchurch features warm cedar
balanced with a thermally efficient
plaster-look finish. The owner wanted
the garden, in its infancy here, to have
the look of a rambling French jardin.
