+ 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.

38 Webb St. Kennedy House. Nicholas Kennedy.

Two simple houses built on a single section by Nicholas Kennedy in 1974: a one bedroom home on the front of the section for his parents and directly behind, an almost identical version for himself. At the time, Nicholas was an exciting young talent having had a hand in many of Warren and Mahoney’s standout buildings during the 60s and early 70s.

Nicholas sadly died from cancer in his early 30s, but worked on the Christchurch Town Hall and is credited with designing the Christ College chapel and Dorset Towers – which, incidentally, Peter Beaven reckons is the best building Warren and Mahoney ever built (and he liked a lot of them).
