2020 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Sawtooth Apartment
This project is a masterclass in the use of a simple plan and section to achieve extraordinary spatial complexity. A V-groove cut into the gable admits light into the rooms and establishes an intriguing and original elevation. The impact of the skylights, and the natural light they draw into the apartment, is dramatic. Elsewhere, modest materials and colour choices are thoughtfully composed, while details complementing the angular form are integrated subtly in the apartment design.
