2021 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Garden House
A decision to reuse the existing basement on this site meant the architects had a platform on which to create a delightful and confidently designed home. This light-filled living environment extracts the true potential of its hillside site with views into the Botanic Gardens, while also creating a series of rich internal spaces anchored around a sheltered courtyard. A restrained material palette works harmoniously with its bush setting, and the retention of existing bricks adds a layer of depth and tactility to the overall outcome. Subtle and consistent detailing along with wonderful cabinetry insertions provide a cohesive design that enriches daily living.
