Homes designed around the sun.

Solstice Homes is the residential design collection of Canterbury Design Services. Every plan is drawn in Canterbury, for Canterbury — north-facing living, warm thermal performance, practical layouts, and orientation that makes the most of the sun.

The sixteen plans are named for peaks in the Southern Alps, from Starter homes named for the foothills and front ranges (Hutt, Somers, Torlesse) to Premium designs named for the great mountains behind (Cook, Aspiring, Tutoko, Hicks, Dampier). Each one is designed and engineered in-house, then adapted, mirrored or extended to suit your section.

Sixteen plans. One considered standard.

Every plan can be mirrored, adapted or extended to suit your section. Select a plan to see the full floor plan and specs.

Three reasons it works.

01

Designed and engineered together

Architecture and structural engineering come from the same desk, so the plan you choose is already buildable and consent-ready — no rework between designer and engineer.

02

Proven Canterbury experience

40+ years of Canterbury work across 1000+ projects, including seismic-aware foundations, site-responsive design and cold-climate performance.

03

Adapted to your section

Every plan can be mirrored, resized or extended to suit your site, orientation and ground conditions, with the foundation designed for the land it sits on.
