We believe the most beautiful homes are built from the most honest materials.
Admire Concrete Homes was founded by Stephen and Juanita Clearwater with a singular vision: to build homes that are as beautiful as they are enduring. Based in Christchurch, we've seen firsthand the importance of resilient construction in Canterbury.
Our journey into concrete construction began with a simple observation — the most inspiring buildings in the world are made from concrete. From the Brutalist masterpieces of Le Corbusier to the refined minimalism of Tadao Ando, concrete has always been the material of architects who refuse to compromise.
We brought that ambition to residential construction in Canterbury, combining Insulated Concrete Form technology with architectural design to create homes that are warm, quiet, earthquake-resilient, and strikingly beautiful.
"Striking beauty of brutalist form with extensive dematerialization... elegant minimalism... innovative spatial connections... raw materials."
— SuperHome Movement Judges, 2024
We let materials speak for themselves. No cladding over concrete, no pretending to be something we're not. Raw, real, beautiful.
Every pour, every form, every finish is executed with precision. Concrete rewards those who take the time to do it right.
We build homes that will serve families for generations. A 100-year home isn't aspirational — it's our baseline.
