The pair’s directive to architectural designer Ben Brady was to eke out of their modest budget a small, versatile and well-detailed space, rather than a big, bland house. Having left Christchurch to live in the resort town, the couple wanted their new house to feel like a vacation home, with a view to turning it into a short-term rental if they ever moved back to the city.
