Restoring landmark homestead turns heads

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Ever felt your reno was never going to end? Spare a thought for the owners of this Fendalton homestead.

Spare a thought for the owners of this Fendalton homestead. Restoring their home and gardens after the 2011 earthquakes took six long years, and included rolling the entire house onto the front lawn so new foundations could be laid before rolling it back again.

But the hard work's paid off. The epic project has been recognised in the 2018 Canterbury Architecture Awards, where it won a Heritage Award for its "sensitive alterations" and "seamless transitions from old to new".

Have you tackled a reno project of you own, big or small? We'd love to hear about it.

Regenerate Christchurch have released a the long-awaited plan intended to fix Christchurch City's heart.

The new plan for the city's Cathedral Square will see a mix of green and paved surfaces to create a strong city heart and encourage events. Its execution is intended to be phased, rolled out in stages as building projects around the square were completed.

As suggested in a draft concept released last year, the redesigned square would have three main spaces, each with their own character – a green zone with trees and water southeast of Christ Church Cathedral, a youth-friendly meeting space by the new library, and a large event and meeting space on the western side.

Were you aware of the plans? What do you think about them? Do you like the designs? Is there anything missing?
