Located in central Christchurch, Kilmore is a compact yet considered development of 18 one-bedroom units. Designed to make efficient use of a tight urban site, the project demonstrates Crampton & Smith’s capability to deliver high-quality, architecturally driven builds in complex environments.
A bold Scoria red exterior gives Kilmore a striking presence within the cityscape, creating a contemporary contrast to its surroundings. Behind the façade, each unit has been thoughtfully designed to maximise space, natural light and privacy, with refined detailing and materials that bring warmth and texture to compact living. The result is a cohesive development that balances practicality with modern design expression.
Crampton & Smith managed the full build process, from site preparation through to final handover, coordinating multiple trades within a restricted-access environment. Careful planning and clear communication ensured the build schedule remained on track, while strict attention to detail achieved consistently high-quality finishes. The project stands as an example of how efficient project management, build precision, and design integrity can produce beautiful homes even within a challenging urban context.
