2017 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Kotare Street House
Upon arrival at Kotare Street one is greeted by the first glimpse of the garden and ‘gatehouse’. This small studio-cum-greenhouse forms the first in the collection of gabled forms, enticing visitors into the property. The main living space sits alongside the river, while the bedroom wing encloses the central courtyard, providing privacy. Once inside, the arrangement of forms allows occupants visual connections between the different spaces, out into the garden and river beyond. Open gables provide a sense of volume and roof windows allow light into the spaces and views out to neighbouring trees, while pergolas encourage the home to sink into the garden. House, garden and clients will grow together in this calming riverside masterpiece.
