Kaikainui Lane | Christchurch
+ Info
RMM's landscape design for the sophisticated Kaikainui Lane property is a masterful complement to the modern architectural style of the home, creating a harmonious and inviting setting for the owners to enjoy. The design places a strong emphasis on seamless indoor-outdoor flow, leading to expansive entertaining areas that offer flexible living options for various occasions.

A key highlight of the outdoor space is a cozy outdoor fireplace, which provides warmth and ambiance, making it a popular spot for gatherings and social events. Adjacent to this is a teppanyaki grill, which has quickly become a favorite feature for hosting lively dinner parties and casual get-togethers.

The property boasts expansive views over an infinity pool, which visually extends across the Clearwater Golf Course to the distant Southern Alps. This breathtaking outlook enhances the overall ambiance and creates a sense of openness and tranquility.

The outdoor spaces are meticulously integrated with the modern home through a refined material palette that includes stone, timber, concrete, and natural tiles. This careful selection of materials ensures that the exterior aesthetic seamlessly complements the interior design, creating a cohesive and harmonious environment throughout the property.

Two strategically placed water features are designed to be visible from the indoor living areas, enhancing the connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. These water features add a sense of tranquility and movement, enriching the visual experience from within the home and providing soothing sounds that enhance relaxation.

The planting palette is a thoughtful blend of exotic and native species, helping to softly integrate the house into its natural setting. Pleached and clipped hedges provide structure and formality, while the ethereal flowerheads of ornamental grasses add a touch of softness and elegance. This selection not only adds visual interest and variety but also supports local biodiversity, contributing to the ecological health of the area.
