Arbor

Nestled in Rolleston, this four-bedroom family home is a testament to thoughtful design and natural materiality. The exterior pairs rich cedar horizontal shiplap with smooth Rockcote plaster, creating a warm contemporary facade that stands out in the streetscape. Every detail has been considered - from the Colorsteel Sandbar roof to the earth-toned palette that ties the home to its surroundings.

Inside, the design by Nextdore brings a refined warmth to every space. The open-plan living area anchors the home, flowing through to a dedicated media room for family movie nights or quiet retreat. The kitchen is a standout - engineered stone benchtops, dark timber cabinetry, and ABI tapware create a space that's equal parts functional and beautiful.

Four bedrooms provide room for the whole family, including two generous masters with ensuites and walk-in robes, ideal for those living with parents or another couple. Step outside and the timber deck extends the living space into the garden - a natural gathering point designed for the way Canterbury families actually live.
