2017 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Paoneone
This “house for giants” is purposefully, carefully and massively over-scaled, meaning that space itself becomes the item of precious commodity. The expert control of materials and forms, combined with relentless detailing and excellent craftsmanship, has created high-end delight. The constant scent of cedar adds to a controlled sensory experience in the interior, while the double-layer exterior sliding skin exaggerates the over-scaled spatial approach. This is a monumental building made of timber, a building of such precision and rigour that the rural vernacular it uses as a generator is itself eclipsed.
