2020 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Robinson Crimp House
What started as a shed renovation evolved into a new house which is the result of extensive research and interrogation of materials, and mastery of construction techniques and engineering. An impressive 70 per cent of the house’s materials are recycled and, except for a solitary sealant, all construction materials are VOC-free. The owner-architects led a collaborative team, including builders and the local council, in an exploratory and educational process. There is a curiosity-shop richness to the project – each element has a re-use story that is worth telling. The house successfully re-imagines what a low-cost, low energy dwelling can be.
