2025 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Kapua Farm House
A modern home for a young farming family on a budget, Kapua Farm House was created though a collaborative effort of family and friends. Embracing passive design principles, the design is anchored by a recycled brick bedroom wing at the rear of the site. A curved brick entry opens up to a warm, birch ply kitchen and living area projecting out to views of the landscape under a low-slung zinc roof. Interiors are whimsical and personal. Local macrocarpa decking wraps the home, offering multiple outdoor zones that respond to the conditions. This home speaks clearly to its natural environment in the North Canterbury landscape.
