2010 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Island Retreat
This extreme house is based around the idea of a camping compound. It is made up of separate, tent-like, boxes with fabric roofs held down with tension wires. Sited in a small hollow on a ridge, the units organise the elements (both natural and constructed) around an outdoor living space. The successful living unit of the house is open to the exterior and participates in both the campsite and the wider world. The house is interesting and carefully crafted.
