2025 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Steph's House
Steph’s House showcases a keen eye for potential. Carving off a slice of land above an existing attached home with walk-up access, the design captures sweeping, unexpected views of the Wellington skyline, from the harbor to Lyall Bay. Seemingly simple, the design moves are subtle yet powerful. An inverted truss roof mirrors the ground before opening to the expansive view. Situated alongside a well-used public walkway, the home generously gives back to its surroundings. The glass front door offers a sightline to the view, engaging passersby without compromising the privacy of the interiors—an elegant example of thoughtful densification.
