2016 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
K Valley House
The architects have celebrated the cinematic essence of their brief to create a stunning retreat. A large rural site is commanded by a rusted 'camera obscura', which appears to float over the ridge of the site it occupies. Inside, expansive views are simply framed with recycled timber and steel. Repurposed materials have been sourced and incorporated at every level, a process that entailed a close working relationship with highly motivated clients. In these weathering materials lies the promise of decorative richness in the fullness of time.
