This little bach sits adjacent to the sandhills of Leithfield Beach and occupies the majority of the tiny section. Small sheltered courtyards make good use of the the minimal land and all rooms open to the outside to relieve their small size and enjoy the coastal environment.

This Cashmere Hills house was featured in Home & Building in May, 1970, who reported that ‘the main view is screened form the entrance porch and revealed in a series of confined glimpses through a combination of door and window openings before unveiling the full panorama form the living room bay windows.’

Sitting right on the end of a volcanic spur and overlooking the estuary of the Avon and Heathcote, this wee ripper was built in 1957 and designed by Walter Linton. Perched precariously above Main Road, it’s one of Christchurch’s most well-known houses

Paul Pascoe was a prominent Canterbury architect and one of the first architects to introduce modernist architecture to Christchurch on a large scale. He started his studies in architecture with Cecil Wood of Christchurch, and worked in Britain with Berthold Lubetkin Tecton during the 1930s . He rejoined the office of Cecil Wood in 1938, before commencing practice on his own account in 1939.

One of his first commissions was Canterbury Court at the Centennial Exhibition 1940. His Christchurch International Airport building of 1956, which was awarded a NZIA Gold Medal, and the Drainage Board Building of 1967 are both fine examples of modernist architecture on a commercial scale.

Other accomplishments include winning a competition for the redesign of Cathedral Square and being a finalist in the Christchurch Town Hall competition. His own home is a Sumner landmark.

Paul Pascoe formed separate partnerships with notable contemporaries Humphrey Hall and Walter Linton.
