2023 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Maitahi Quarter Townhouses
A site with planning and flooding constraints required an architect who could navigate and transform these challenges into opportunities . The result is a set of attractive and functional townhouses overlooking the river, introducing a much-needed typology to a (currently) underpopulated town centre. The clever use of adjustable vertical louvres allows occupants to enjoy views while avoiding being overlooked by close neighbours. Internal planning and storage have been well-considered to ensure the interior is robust, light, spacious and well-proportioned. High-quality medium density homes such as these will draw people back into the city, which encourages a more sustainable lifestyle.
