2022 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Under Ivy
Under Ivy is the beautiful resolution of a sophisticated design strategy. Roof gardens above the living addition raise the garden plane to connect with the first floor of the 1890s villa, and its planting throws dappled shadows through the skylight slots to the walls below. The considered approach to the heritage component of this project is outstanding, demonstrated in the care taken in restoration and the restrained, contextual material palette. Built form and nature are overlaid and connected to create a sensitively scaled, private, lush and light living addition. Consistency of design intent, refined detailing and collaboration between architect, structural engineer and landscape designer is commended.
