2009 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Fendalton House
This house exploits every square metre of its unusual V-shaped site. The street frontage is a high concrete wall. Inside the gate, a tennis court and a drive are surrounded on three sides with more concrete walls. The fourth wall is the house, fully glazed on the ground floor, and louvred above. Entering the house there is a delightful surprise as a wide pivoting door opens to reveal its essence. One room, comprising living, dining and kitchen, is offset at an angle to the bulk of the house. This opens out to a broad deck with great views. The house is an excellent example of minimalism, both in design and making.
