A name rooted in
Christchurch’s story
Hartstone by Aster celebrates the town’s heritage in both name and detail. “Hart” nods to the industrious legacy of William Hart, whose craftsmanship helped define this area, while “stone” honours the Druitt stone found on site, a tribute to Herbert Druitt, a passionate antiquarian from one of Christchurch’s most influential families.

At the heart of the neighbourhood, the relocated Druitt stone remains as a quiet reminder that these new homes are woven into a landscape rich with meaning. Inspired by the character of the town centre, the architecture blends red and buff brick, slate and traditional textures, echoing familiar streets from Silver Street to Millhams Street.

From Bargates to Hartstone by Aster

As the vision matured and the design took shape, the neighbourhood progressed to become Hartstone by Aster, a name that reflects its heritage, materials and enduring character.
