2010 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Seatoun House
Visitors to this house are greeted by an impossible cantilever that seems to leap across the harbour. This structural wonder is counterpoised by a very simple planning arrangement � a �T�, where two forms lock together. The cantilever is an open plan public volume which provides entry, eating, and entertaining, while the other is a private sleeping wing that nestles into the bank, hunkering down. The appropriateness of this arrangement plays out in the modulation and language of the forms and relationships each wing has to the landscapes. Capping this off is an incredibly rich punctuation space.
