2025 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Lava Flow
Perched on the edge of a volcanic precipice, this villa extension reclaims a once-disconnected home with grace and ingenuity. Stepping down through three levels, it follows the site’s steep terrain to reconnect with the land and open into a canopy of mature trees. A pyramid roof and sculpted skylight draw in shifting light, while a volcanic colour palette grounds the design in place and personality. Sensitive to heritage, light on carbon and rich in spatial storytelling, this project balances old and new with confidence and care.
