2021 Hawkes Bay/Gisborne Architecture Awards Winner
Mt Vernon Station Homestead
In response to a brief that included restoring this country house to its former glory and adding some modern convenience, this extensive restoration project has touched every part of its 900m² homestead. From the restored roof lantern down to the full basement, every part of this project was a labour of love for the architect, and it shows. Great care has been taken to ensure that the modernised service spaces don’t just complement the original building, but enhance the character of the house, and ensure that its story, from construction in 1882 through the Napier earthquake in 1931 and decline through the latter part of last century, is told for another 140 years.
