2024 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Cranwell Place (1970)
This is a well-crafted, warm and welcoming home designed by the architect for his wife and young family. The house sits within an L-shaped floorplan, with the centre facing a courtyard that looks north towards a gully. Internal spaces are compartmentalised and expressed through different levels, and externally through different roof forms. The house features a generous kitchen for its time, with wide, full-height sliding doors, and built-in cabinets, shelves and bookcases expressing a high level of detail and craft. An original gem well worth celebrating.
