+ Info
Located just 20 minutes south of Christchurch, the Stonebrook subdivision represents a thoughtfully designed residential community that balances modern living with a strong connection to nature. This development is characterized by its emphasis on accessible open spaces and a well-connected, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood.
RMM, a distinguished firm in urban design and landscape architecture, spearheaded the project with a comprehensive approach that ensured every aspect of the community was meticulously planned and executed. The design concept for Stonebrook is deeply rooted in the local rural environment, drawing inspiration from the natural landscape to create a harmonious and inviting living space.
The layout of Stonebrook reflects a seamless integration with its natural surroundings. Planting schemes and hardscape materials, such as river stone and timber, were carefully selected to echo the textures and colors of the local environment. This thoughtful selection not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also promotes sustainability and a sense of place.
A prominent feature of the Stonebrook development is a linear park that stretches the entire length of the subdivision. This park serves as the backbone of the community, providing a continuous green corridor that encourages outdoor activities and fosters social interactions. The park is complemented by extensive reserves and waterways, which not only enhance the visual appeal but also support local biodiversity and water management.
In addition to the linear park, Stonebrook boasts a variety of green spaces designed to cater to different needs and preferences. A hazelnut grove offers a unique agricultural element, connecting residents to the region's rural heritage. Pocket parks and playgrounds are strategically placed throughout the subdivision, providing safe and enjoyable spaces for children and families. The green village, a central gathering area, sets a new standard for medium-density residential living, offering a vibrant community hub where residents can come together for events and activities.

RMM's design approach for Stonebrook emphasizes the creation of a cohesive and sustainable community that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings. By focusing on accessible open spaces, pedestrian connectivity, and a strong sense of place, this project sets a new benchmark for medium-density (or subdivision) residential developments. The importance of Stonebrook lies in its ability to blend rural charm with modern amenities, creating a living environment that promotes well-being, sustainability, and community engagement.
