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 siteβs 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.

Jeffreys Rd is under construction and progressing rapidly. This is a special project for us - A big thank you to everyone involved in getting it to this stage! π
Progress shots of our Villa repair and renovation job - We have completely replaced the ring foundation and re-levelled the internal piles. The house now sits beautifully level on top of the new foundation systems and is ready for the planned improvements! π¨π‘
We recently transformed this outdoor area with a new deck, supporting beam and built in seats to open up this space!
