98 | David Reid Homes Christchurch North T T Kim Newth Getting set to impress in Highsted Tyne Stimpson, of Adaptive Architecture, worked with the Christchurch North team to create the well-proportioned, considered design. “You’ve got easy access to the city, the motorway, the airport and great shopping, but once you’re in there you’re surrounded by green fields, parks, walkways and native plantings.” BUILDING For those seeking a tranquil, yet wellconnected lifestyle, Highsted Residential in north-west Christchurch offers an ideal location. The David Reid Homes Christchurch North team is proud to be shaping Highsted’s ongoing evolution with high-quality, architectural homes designed in step with modern living needs. With stage 8 sections currently for sale, there are exciting options to explore. Having robust covenants in place, Highsted Residential has become one of the most sought-after subdivisions in Christchurch. Director Carl Fordyce says Highsted’s convenient north-west location is a major drawcard for many. “You’ve got easy access to the city, the motorway, the airport and great shopping, but once you’re in there you’re surrounded by green fields, parks, walkways and native plantings,” says Carl. “The Highsted Stream runs right through it. Yet you’re still incredibly well connected to everything the city has to offer.” This autumn, David Reid Homes Christchurch North is counting down the days to the May opening of their stylish new show home in Berryfields, Highsted, (with the exact opening date to be announced soon on their Facebook page). The new three-bedroom, two-bathroom, double-garage show home features complementary pavilion forms connected by a central link, with an expansive window layout. On a prominent corner site (Gardiners Road/Berryfields Ave), the stunning new home will also showcase a smart new James Hardie Board and Batten cladding. “James Hardie Board and Batten is new to the market, and we really wanted to explore what it could do with genuine architectural thinking behind it. It suits the pavilion form beautifully, and is clean, refined and built to last. I’m really proud of how it’s shaping up. It’s going to be a strong statement for us here at Christchurch North,” Carl says. Tyne Stimpson, of Adaptive Architecture, worked with the Christchurch North team to create the well-proportioned, considered design. “From the beginning, Tyne understood exactly what we were trying to achieve,” says Carl. “He has a real ability to listen to what a client needs and design around that, while still bringing his own creative thinking to the result.” The interior design, by Nextdore, has brought a warmth and depth to the interiors that feels current, but will age beautifully, says Carl. “It features rich natural materials, warm tones, really considered layering. It’s not what everyone else is doing, and I think people will be surprised when they walk through.
