Christchurch Modern

"We’re not architects, we’re not historians and we don’t know much about anything. However we do like modern houses and Christchurch is a great place for them." Christchurchmodern.co.nz is an architecture blog that features aesthetically interesting houses from the last century and profiles on some of the architects that designed them. Also see their sister site ‘Hum-Dingers of the Grid City‘
