2016 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Pauanui Beach House
On this project, site features and constraints have inspired clever design responses. Two juxtaposed mono-pitched forms are arranged to yield a wedge-shaped, top-lit space. The principal outlook to the beach, through pōhutukawa trees on the beach reserve, is charming, and sets the scene for mellow-toned cedar board cladding and Te Kuiti limestone patio features. A wonderful northern extension of the main living space provides a covered outdoor 'room' that provides privacy and shelter through controlled overhead louvre shading. This is a superb holiday and entertainment facility and an accomplished piece of design
