2015 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Local Awards Winner
Lakeside Holiday House
When sun and views occupy opposite compass point an irksome architectural conundrum arises. This elongated pavilion, perched on a Taupō cliff edge with a panorama of lake and mountains for company, solves the problem through extensive glazing on two long sides – a manoeuvre that maximises the opportunities for views from south and north, while providing a sun-welcoming, sheltered living court that is protected from the cold southerly wind. Serene interiors draw on the boatshed form, emphasising the elegant exposed trusses and utilising to effect a quiet texture-based material palette, all complemented by the skilful use of concealed lighting.
