2017 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
One Storey House
This house is divided into three one-storey sections: one against the road; an intermediate section; and the main floor of the house to the rear, which is protected by the other two forms from the suburban edge and lifted up high enough for views out over the bay. Good access to outdoor sheltered areas is achieved by the house hugging the landscape, and by its sloping roofline. Internal areas are defined by various volumes and the use of natural light. The form of the building sits beautifully on the hill.
