Welcome home.
“The Crossing” is a 3-bedroom apartment for flexible length live-in residencies







Affordable accommodation above XCHC gives creatives the chance to be in close proximity to our space and easily access the community, resources, and activities that might help further their own creative practice.
This might be useful to those relocating to Christchurch and are looking for ways to socially and creatively integrate.

Joss (The Voidwalker)
Music + Events | Sound Engineer
I am a Joss. My passion for music drives my everyday existence, you may find me embracing my inner creature dancing to sensual soundscapes, playing luscious beats to cuddle puddles, or deep in the flow producing my own unique sounds. The rest of my life consists of herding hippies, musicians, and artists, to help create unique events and workshops. I’m a serious foodie, food is life, and please put garlic on it. If you seek my heart bring me a snack or share with me your favourite tunes.
