+ About Christchurch Modern
We're not architects, we're not historians and we don't know much about anything. However we do like modern houses and Christchurch is a great place for them.
If you know of a house that deserves a mention please let us know. If we've made a mistake, do the same. If you like the site, tell your friends. If you hate the site, tell your friends you like it anyway. It's a minor white lie that anyone would forgive.

Millbank Lane. Family House. Peter Beaven.

This beautiful “little house’ was designed Peter Beaven for his family in 1962. Sited at the end of Millbank Lane at Carlton Mill, it sits on the bank of the Avon River opposite Hagley Park. The 3 bedroom house has been sympathetically updated over the years without losing any of its enduring appeal.

    I believe this house might have been demolished recently

    Timothy, you’re right, it’s well and truly gone. Bafflingly, the owners recently paid $800k for the home only to knock it down and replace it with this:
    Piece of shit
    Before the auction, the agent read aloud a letter from Peter Beaven describing how pleased he was the house had been loved and enhanced over the years. Then the bidding began to destroy it.
