2025 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Palmers Beach House Aotea Great Barrier
Responding to the conundrum of view and sun lying in opposite directions this pavilion-style house allows its occupants to remain engaged with the beauty of its coastal setting while being protected from the elements. Glazed galleries afford views through the house from a sheltered courtyard carved out of the centre of the pinwheel plan form and maintain a connection to the coastline while moving through the interior. Separate bedroom wings at opposite sides of the central living space see the house expand and contract as holiday numbers flux. Mindfully chosen materials reduce the house's visual presence and landscape disturbance within this special island setting.
