MCLA Construction

Get a glimpse at one of the remarkable homes that feature in the upcoming second Canterbury edition of Distinctive Designs. After the Christchurch earthquakes, Lachie McPhail from MCLA Construction and his partner Annabelle seized the chance to reimagine their home and maximise the site’s full potential, collaborating with PRau Architects to design a stunning modern sanctuary that prioritises light and space. With a striking blend of brick, concrete, and stone, their home stands as a lasting tribute to resilience, architectural beauty and exceptional craftmanship. From the eye-catching cedar board and batten details to the warm, burnished concrete floors, every element tells a story.

We are looking forward to building this one! A sleek looking town house with cool features and solid materials, Designed by @pr_au

Deck and balustrade on Lyttelton job coming together! Timber Balustrades and character homes - Very nice! 😍

We recently re-cladded the south side of this early 1900’s home! It is not uncommon to see rot like this in older homes.. Maintenance is key!

We recently transformed this outdoor area with a new deck, supporting beam and built in seats to open up this space! At MCLA we offer a range of renovation services to give your home a new feel. Contact us today to get your renovation project underway
