Casa Moderno // This stunning design, nestled quietly in Fendalton, is arguably one of the most striking homes built in the city for some while.
The home, Casa Moderno, was designed by Sheppard & Rout Architects and meticulously constructed by Gregg Builders.
The centrepiece is the double-height entranceway, crowned by a dramatic Arabescato marble spiral staircase, with stunning artwork displayed in the mezzanine gallery above.
Expansive open-plan living areas unfold across the breadth of this spacious home, arranged in zones to cater for family living and entertaining, while the interior is designed to flows seamlessly to the landscaped grounds and exterior living spaces.
The state-of-the-art kitchen is designed around a monumental cantilevered island, also of Arabescato marble.
In terms of scale, Casa Moderno has plenty to boast about, including an indoor swimming pool, seven bathrooms, four ensuite bedrooms, a six car garage and several rooms which can be configured to accommodate guests.
The scope of the property is something to behold in itself, with the home exceeding 900sqm, sitting on a 3,000sqm site.
Constructed over two years the attention to detail is a credit to Gregg Builders, as is the design to Sheppard & Rout.
The home is already a winner of the Registered Master Builders’ Canterbury Regional Supreme Award, and is a national finalist in the RMB House of the Year Awards 2019, in the Resene New Home over $2 million category.
National winners for the House of the Year Awards 2019 will be announced in Auckland on Saturday 23 November.
