2024 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Coromandel House
Originally conceived as a holiday home for its owner, this project evolved into a family’s permanent residence in the sleepy Coromandel township of Onemana. The design pushes the boundaries of site coverage and materiality, a modern concrete home inspired by the mood and aesthetic of Tadao Ando. Inside, the home feels modern and sophisticated, warm and inviting. Interior timber lining creates a welcoming, calming feeling. The courtyard and outdoor space create a tranquil oasis and sense of privacy, despite the proximity of neighbours. Light shafts, level changes and shadow plays create interest and privacy while maintaining views to the rolling hills and streetscape.
