2023 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Omata Hill House
While an alteration and addition, the extent of work and the sophistication of its execution provides the same level of quality that may be expected from a new home. Connections with the landscape and nature are established with a permeable, open living space and are further encouraged with a transition from inside to out when moving from living spaces to bedrooms, at either end of the house. Outdoor areas extend the main living space with shutters allowing for variable weather conditions, while meticulously detailed timber lining adds warmth to the interior. This project is a superb example of the inherent sustainability of re-tasking an existing building.
