2017 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Ruby Bay House
This house references forms, materials and even the carport/open garages of 1950s New Zealand. The spaces inside are small but efficient, with a double-height space over the kitchen giving a breathing space to the centre of an otherwise very small house. The east and west courtyard spaces open the house out on to the land, and strip windows look out to sea. The house exhibits a refreshing approach to design and it will be interesting to see how the second house proposed for further up the site relates to this one.
