2022 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Party Wall
Anchored to a steep hillside by a robust central wall, this elegant townhouse development shelters beneath a simple metal clad form with expansive glazing to the north. Deft planning negotiates the complexity of a site with no parking. A pair of inviting steel stairs access the upper-level balcony of each adjoining unit, immediately revealing the view, and minimising circulation space. Two similar homes are vertically offset to suit the topography of this tight Kelburn hillside. Extensive glazing admits light deep within the interior. The substantial insitu concrete circulation core addresses environmental, structural, acoustic and fire requirements. An elegantly detailed pod separates lower private spaces and provides services.
