Breathing New Life into the Christchurch Gem: A Sustainable Transformation

In the heart of Christchurch, a notable home awaited a much-needed rejuvenation. Originally built in 1990, this four bedroom, two bathroom residence boasted big rooms, wide hallways, a light-filled stairwell, and a huge gallery upstairs, all contributing to its spacious and inviting ambience.

CFG, renowned for their precision and expertise, undertook the task with a clear vision — to add life back into this structure while embracing modernity. Central to this endeavour was the choice of materials. JSC TMT Taxon, a Thermally Modified Timber of exceptional quality, emerged as the cornerstone of the redesign.

A departure from the original plaster and brick exterior, TMT Taxon took centre stage, serving as the main design feature that would define the transformation. Its enhanced durability and stability made it a fitting choice for New Zealand's diverse climate, aligning seamlessly with the project's pursuit of both longevity and contemporary aesthetics.

The marriage of TMT Taxon and JSC Scumble Wood Oil colour Frost and Clear represented a commitment to sustainability. With low maintenance requirements and a reduced environmental impact, they proved to be more than just premium materials — they were a promise of longevity.

As the revitalised Christchurch Gem stands proudly, it serves as an inspiration — a reminder of the enduring beauty that arises when craftsmanship meets innovation. The harmonious integration of JSC TMT Taxon and the innovative JSC VertiClad - Vertical Shiplap Weatherboard Cladding System stands as a testament to the transformative power of sustainable, technically sound solutions in architectural projects.

Take a look at the before and after imagery! What a beautiful transformation!
