2009 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Clements House
This wonderful house is set on top of a cliff with sweeping views of the estuary. It consists of three blocks, two of which are tall and one room wide, the other being single storey set at an angle. A fine steel bridge connects the blocks. Thick white plaster containing walls are contrasted with elegant steel window frames and twisted steel columns. The main living block is sited splendidly between two enormous Norfolk pines. A long twelve year design process has produced a house that is a distillation of the architectural style Ian Athfield created with his first house.
