2025 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Redcliffs House, Te Rae Kura
This thoughtfully composed home is anchored to its site through the use of excavated volcanic rock. The restrained material palette and purposeful planning result in a sequence of connected, elegant spaces. Upon arrival, the view is intentionally concealed, then revealed through a central stair that separates living, sleeping, and service areas. A series of fixed and sliding screens manage light, privacy, and solar gain with finesse. Outdoor terraces and courtyards extend the interior into the landscape, creating a seamless dialogue between inside and out, and a living experience shaped by material integrity and spatial clarity.
