STYLE | home 25 P eter and Judith Lange’s home is bold and compelling, as well as generous and inviting. From the outside in, the home’s strong lines intersect and create new shapes, whilst colours and textures interact in ways that are refreshing, sophisticated and creative. For the couple, building from the ground up was not something they had planned on doing, in either the near or distant future. Peter explains that their “1970s red brick house didn’t flow. The layout was ‘higglety pigglety’ having been added onto several times.” In spite of this, they had been in the house for several years and in the leafy hillside neighbourhood of Cashmere for over a decade – and had no intention of moving or building. The earthquake of February 2011 shook up life as they knew it, damaging the family home beyond repair. Reluctantly, the couple undertook the challenge of building a new home for themselves and their teenage daughters. With the option to design-and-build and get exactly what they wanted, they elected to build with Benchmark Homes. “Going into it, we had a reasonable idea of what we wanted,” says Peter, “a family home with large open-plan living that would capitalise on views up the valley.” Using an architect through Benchmark Homes, the Langes finally got to see their ideas materialise. “That was the most exciting part,” says Peter, “We knew what we wanted, but we needed someone else to visualise and configure it for us. It was an ‘oh wow’ moment.”
