Rough Edges, Bold Design: “As Is” Opportunity
Offered on an 'as is, where is' basis, the Moir Residence, designed by David Allen and Associates in 1976, presents a rare opportunity to restore a piece of architectural history. Spanning nearly 230sqm across multiple levels, this iconic home boasts bold mid-century design elements, character, and sweeping views of the Southern Alps and the city.
David Allen's early influences were shaped by Christchurch architectural forces such as Peter Beaven and Warren & Mahoney, who had a profound impact on the city's architectural landscape. Later, Allen drew inspiration from the new generation of innovative architects, including Roger Walker, Ian Athfield, and John Blair. These influences are reflected in the home's daring design, with a strong sense of individuality and expression.
Every room captures breathtaking views, while the expansive decks bask in all-day sun, providing a perfect setting for outdoor living. The entrance is a standout feature, with a striking two-storey turret stairway, high-pitched ceilings, and exposed timber that immediately impresses.
- Iconic mid-1970s design
- Aluminum joinery with distinctive oculus windows
- High-pitched and cathedral ceilings
- Private driveway leading to a secluded setting
- Panoramic views of the Southern Alps and the city
- Double garage with internal access
- Zoned for Cashmere High, Beckenham, and St Martins schools
The home's distinctive design has been admired by those who've lived here and visited over the years. Now, it's ready for someone new to embrace its potential"whether through restoration or reinvention, there's an opportunity to create a unique home while preserving its original character and expansive layout.
Opportunities like this are rare. Don't miss your chance to own a home with true architectural significance. The owner is committed to selling the property and will be sold on or before auction day.
