2020 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Bowentown Bach
This strong external form is about refuge in a singular object of character, in contrast to the courtyard and pavilion approach now familiar on New Zealand’s east coast. The weathered shell is carefully incised, revealing only an entryway cut to the street. Upon entry, however, a warm, honeyed living space looks out to the expansive foredune and sea. A second cut allows for the northern deck and access down to the dunes.
