| 87 T T Kelly Deeks A stylish sanctuary Will took a considered approach when specifying the amount of stone to be used in order to create a striking contrast between the different claddings. Will Dickinson Design: RS Built ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Now nearing completion in Prebbleton, Christchurch, a new home of significant scale and style is coming together as the owners’ vision of a sanctuary for extended family to gather is fulfilled. Designed by Will Dickinson of Dickinson Design and Drafting and built by RS Built, this 350sqm home surrounded by multi-million-dollar homes had a lot to live up to. The existing five-bay shed on the 4700sqm corner section was to be retained, which had Will working around it and even switching the driveway from one road to the other to get the correct layout for his gabled, pavilion-style design. “We’ve made three different zones within the home: the master bedroom wing to the left, the guest bedrooms’ wing to the right, and the living and kitchen wing in the middle,” he says. “Outside, the backyard enjoys all day sun and we’ve created a covered outdoor area off a guest bedroom and a sun-room off the lounge.” The clients were interested in creating a conservatory-like space within the home. Will tends to find that conservatories are often under-utilised as they can be too cold to use in the winter and too warm in the summer. With this in mind, he has given them a fully enclosed sun-room that can be used year round, with doors leading from the lounge and sliders to view and access the backyard. With such scale to work with, Will was tasked with designing good functional rooms that make clever use of the available space. In the two links that join the pavilions, instead of being merely walkways he has placed the pantry opposite a beautiful window seat looking out to the backyard in the left link, and a study nook, also with a backyard view, in the right. With the home being clad with Stria, reclaimed Australian hardwood timber and 150mm stone veneer from Wanaka’s Poolburn Quarry, Will took a considered approach when specifying the amount of stone to be used in order to create a striking contrast between the different claddings. “We’ve utilised it only in certain areas to add that special feature.” Ross Spreag from RS Built was involved from the start of the project, providing a seamless process for the clients and helping to avoid any costly and time-consuming amendments or product changes down the line.
