2025 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
Roger's House
Situated on a lakefront site in Wānaka, Roger’s House takes inspiration from mid-century design. Anna-Marie Chin Architects utilise simple geometric forms and expressed timber structure to create a home that demonstrates a crisp aesthetic and welcoming spatial qualities. The architects have responded to site constraints in duality; an outdoor space, sheltered by the building form within the site, allows for an uncluttered view of the lake; and the internal transom windows allow interior spaces to borrow sunlight while improving the legibility of mid-century influences. An oversized entry door, dappled light filtering through screens, and external cladding that extends through the interior space demonstrate well-considered details that elevate the experience of this home.
