Jury citation
This is a building so infused with love and sociability that it hits you like a dense cloak. The house comprises a beautiful and magical series of spaces with materials and colours attuned to differing functions but woven into a true home and unified whole. Constructed and finished by the owner and his builder mates from the rugby club, this house is an exemplar of relaxed Kiwi living, assembled by an exceptionally skilled architect.
