Concrete homes of enduring beauty

Architectural concrete living in Canterbury. Homes that harness thermal mass, celebrate raw materials, and stand the test of time.

Built from the earth. Designed to inspire.

We build architectural concrete homes that merge striking brutalist form with elegant minimalism. Using Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) and thermal mass principles, every home we create is energy-efficient, resilient, and breathtakingly beautiful.

Founded by Stephen and Juanita Clearwater in Christchurch, Admire Concrete Homes brings together decades of building expertise with a passion for raw, honest materials. Our homes don't just shelter — they endure.

Four reasons to build with concrete

Thermal Mass

Concrete stores and releases heat slowly, maintaining comfortable temperatures year-round with minimal energy input.

Resilience

Earthquake-resistant, fireproof, and built to last over 100 years. Concrete homes are the safest investment you can make.

Sustainability

Low operational energy costs, reduced heating requirements, and a structure that never needs re-cladding or major maintenance.

Raw Beauty

Form-marked concrete finishes create an honest, tactile aesthetic that improves with age — no paint, no pretence.
