2022 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Under Ivy
This boldly conceived addition and alteration to a 1890’s villa is simple in its form and program yet is intricately detailed to create a beautifully considered home. The solution of building alongside the villa, but beneath a green roof, allows for a contemporary architectural approach to sit sympathetically against the home, while also replacing a garden lost to the addition. Pavilion-like with a glazed envelope draped by the addition beautifully plays with voids and solids building in distinct coffered ceilings that in turn provide an irregular ‘topography’ for the garden above. The living level is cleverly expanded by drawing together new and old spaces, while more subtle interventions and shifts above celebrate this original “ships captains” home.
