2016 Western Architecture Awards Winner
Elliott House, New Plymouth
An architect's own house - dream commission or the hardest project to get right? In this case the project is an admirable success. The three-level cedar and concrete structure cascades down a sloping site with living spaces skillfully arranged to follow the sun. Beautiful details include cedar sarking to the ceiling and twin ocular skylights which bring light and warmth to the living areas. This house, anchored to its landscape, and expertly finessed, shows an architect at the top of his game.
