2025 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
Curio
Named Kunskas—Afrikaans for “art box”—this meticulously crafted home offers a refined and deeply personal architectural response to site and suburban context. Organised by two gabled forms that separate public and private spaces, the design thoughtfully navigates a sloping section while maintaining a modest rural vernacular presence. Internally, the home is composed of gallery-like spaces that celebrate the owners’ passion for art, with a palette of warm timber, concrete, and white finishes enhancing the curated atmosphere. Immaculate detailing and a high-performance thermal envelope underscore the project’s commitment to both comfort and craftsmanship.
