2020 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Wrightmann House
The brief called for a home that doubles as a private art gallery. The architectural solution deftly balances public and private space, announcing itself via a pared-back white gable form cantilevering over a black fence. The fence line was pulled back from the site boundary to create a public space; a tiny pocket park on this suburban street. Living spaces hang from the central corridor in an offset grid, with rooms designed around a series of specimen trees to create ‘pavilions in the garden’. Internally, natural light is carefully curated and corralled across walls that hero the owners’ extensive art collection.
