Solidly constructed and finished with flair , this house by Fowler Homes Christchurch was designed around its owner ’ s love of France
The hallmark of a good design-and-build firm is the ability to create homes that ideally fit their owners . This home reflects just such a marriage .
Director of Fowler Homes Christchurch Ivan Stanicich says the owner of this four-bedroom home had emigrated here from France two years ago to be with her extended family .
“ She had visited New Zealand prior to this , too , staying with her daughter , who also has a home built by us ,” says Stanicich . “ And she was so impressed with that house that she asked us to work with her to create a home with touches of France for her when she moved here .” search | save | share at
