2021 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Long House
This long, slender home hugs the edge of a thin site between the street and a Churton Park valley. Perched on the edge of the valley with a strong horizontal profile, this home sits in harmony with its site, and contrasts with its two-storied neighbours. The architects have listened carefully and created a variety of spaces to live in, from the sheltered courtyard on the east, a respite from the wind that whips down the valley, to an outdoor room complete with ping pong table on the west. The floor plan subtly kinks and unfolds at the entry into a series of beautifully crafted spaces filled with light. Vertical timber trims provide a rich layer of texture and detail to the interior; deft touches such as these make this a warm, and welcoming home.
