+ 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.

6 Gwynfa Ave. Architect Unknown.

Believed to have been designed by a young architect trained at Warren and Mahoney, this compact 1970s modernist home sticks to the Bauhaus basics. Three staggered boxes – sleeping, eating, living – make the most of a small footprint. It’s simple and it works.

    It was designed in 1968 by Thorpe, Cutter, Pickmere & Douglas Architects of Auckland; In the 1950s and 1960s Thorpe, Cutter, Pickmere & Douglas were considered, quote: “A pivotal and influential practice in New Zealand’s modern architectural history. TCP&D was the place to be if you weren’t working in Tib Donner’s City Architects office….” I am the owner and I have the original plans for this property.
