2021 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Courtyard House
High on a hill in rural south Auckland, this home celebrates retreat and expansion. The house encloses itself from the cold wind (and the street) with a long block wall that cleverly conceals the inside of the home and fortifies the elevation. Upon entry, the plan softens and expands outwards to the view, with floor levels also following the lay of the land. Chiselled roof forms are arranged around the gardens and courtyards that provide a variety of places to relax. Timber tones and crafty details combined with a vibrant landscape create a warm and layered home.
