2022 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Waimataruru
This crafted home fits peacefully within its stunning coastal landscape, a singular form following the land’s contour. A considered entry sequence turns away from the coast, connecting with the site’s regenerating bush. The dramatic view is delivered from within a beautifully crafted interior. A stepped strategy follows the landform, defining internal spaces that interconnect seamlessly within an open volume. Coastal views are restrained, scaled and composed through timber joinery. Thermal performance and carbon calculation inform the design of a high-performing building envelope. The line between architecture and interior design is delightfully blurred in a series of beautifully crafted surfaces and rigorously assembled timber elements.
