| 93 T T Kim Newth Offering space and easy living The carefully considered design maximises modern comfort and convenience. KR Construction DEVELOPMENT Taking shape in the leafy Christchurch suburb of Opawa are four eco-friendly townhouses that set a high bar on comfort, energy efficiency, privacy and contemporary style. KR Construction is proud to present these Homestar 6-certified townhouses at 64a Opawa Road that bring together smart, sophisticated design with affordability and a great location in an established neighbourhood. Since its inception in 2021, the company has rapidly built a reputation for quality, people-driven property development that considers the big picture in creating homes that will be loved and valued for generations. “We’re committed to building a better product at the same price [as a standard build] and that’s because we want to deliver homes that are really liveable for people,” says KR Construction director Dan Richardson. “In step with Homestar 6 requirements, these latest Opawa townhouses have been thermally modelled to ensure year-round comfort.” A common complaint in many two-storey townhouses is that they overheat in summer. This won’t be an issue in these new homes, which come with upstairs air-conditioning. This exciting new development can be considered a cut above. KR Construction architectural designer David Kent’s carefully considered design approach gets the most out of the site for future occupants by maximising modern comfort and convenience. The layouts are light, open and welcoming. Generous indoor living is seamlessly connected with private garden spaces. The cleverly integrated kitchens are both practical and stylish. Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms with ample storage, complemented by a full bathroom and a separate linen cupboard. Full-length windows and raking ceilings add to the sense of space and ease. Each townhouse has its own dedicated garage with access off a right of way. Care has been taken in selecting materials that not only look superb but will stand the test of time. These low-maintenance townhouses are sited right next to Cardowan – a heritage-listed home and garden – so the setting along the southern and western boundaries is beautifully park-like. The location is also conveniently close to local shops, schools, transport links and other amenities. Central Christchurch is just a short distance away. KR Construction has a hardworking team on-site, with the build due to be completed in mid-March 2026. Three of the four townhouses have already sold. The remaining townhouse (112sqm) – priced at $660,000 – will likely find a buyer in the near future. “We’re really pleased at the response we’ve had to date. Our buyers are all owner-occupiers, who plan to live in their new homes. It shows the appeal of the higher standard that we’ve targeted here. With the Homestar 6 rating, it’s a premium product.” KR Construction started out with a focus on building social housing, but has adapted to changing conditions by progressively moving to projects in the open market, (often working in partnership with other private developers). To date, the team has completed housing projects worth a combined total of $90 million. KR Construction is currently starting another multi-unit, Homestar 6 residential complex at 570 Madras Street near the central city that will offer smart living and modern comfort. These new townhouses will feature a generous three-bedroom layout with easy indoor-outdoor living. The team is also in the throes of planning a new apartment project on Colombo St, Christchurch. enquiries to sales@livinghouse.co.nz | Ph: 0800 434 600 | Mobile: 027 655 3064 | www.livinghouse.co.nz Earthwool –Dritherm Technology DriTherm Technology protects thermal and acoustic insulation by preventing moisture from displacing air within the fibres.
