Classic Gable Roofs and a Curated Landscape Enthrall at Mary Potter Apartments
It is not very often that one comes across residential units that are as gorgeous, distinctive, modern and yet seemingly timeless as the Mary Potter Apartments in Christchurch. With a series of gable roofs that appear to create one continuous, flowing form when viewed from the street, these 12 elegant homes were added to an existing suburban development that was first started way back in 1993. Subsequent additions of 13 more residential units in 2006 saw the expansion of the community and the latest dozen give the neighborhood a reinvigorated appeal.Mary Potter Apartments in Christchurch, New ZealandRELATED: Holiday apartments in Borne: Barcelona?s Rich Heritage Repackaged in StyleDesigned by Warren and Mahoney, it is the landscape around the homes that becomes the defining aspect of the new development along with the striking form of the gable roof.
