2012 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Northland Studio
At first glance this appears to be a simple studio above a garage, but deep architectural thought has been given to this project. The acknowledgment given to the neighbouring Northland Church Hall is sensitive and empowering; generous steps between the hall and studio acknowledge the significance of the hall and also have a generous public feel to them. Careful consideration has also been given to the relationship between the new studio, with its elegant gable form, and the family home, a villa which shares the site. The well-proportioned elevation incorporating the glazed gable end provides a public face to the architect’s practice. In sum, this is thoughtfully detailed building is a most welcome addition to the neighbourhood.
