2023 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Glenmorven Studios
This addition continues a 30-year-plus collaboration between client and architect at this stunning site. A move from temporary to permanent occupation, the new building pays homage to the original summer home, and is sited separately to have its own presence, orientation and identity. The dark exterior contrasts with the lightness and warmth of interior spaces. Further craft and masterful detailing can be found in a Japanese-inspired bathroom. Outdoor circulation links the two elements of habitation, effectively creating a sense of camping. The architect’s keen skills are again present in the sensitive siting of the building within the natural landscape, the crafted detailing of building elements and the creation of space between built elements.
