2025 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Walker Box
A fresh and inventive approach to urban densification, this tower house by the owner-architect transformed a non-existent site into an opportunity. The architect uses the caveat of providing parking for the primary site to create interesting formal outcomes. Tackling the constraints of size, budget, and buildability with flair, the building accommodates work, sleep and living across three compact levels threaded together by a filigree spiral stair. Although the form and detailing pay homage to Roger Walker (after whom the project is named), the geometric purity of the tower and the highly resolved fenestration compositions showcase the architect’s own oeuvre.
