2013 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Takapuna House
The relaxed approach of bach-era landscape with unfenced lawn sloping gently to the sand sets the tone for this series of houses on Takapuna beachfront. The houses are braced ‘containers’ placed on the green lawn, opening or closing to conceal or reveal their contents. Lush grass, waxed concrete, oiled floors and industrial steel make for a rich materiality that invites touch.
