2021 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Bough House
Nestled at the back of a small suburban site, Bough House greets its occupants and guests with a gentle twist in the façade to form a welcoming entry. The architects’ interpretation of the simple brief, which asked for “an outdoor table, a fire [and] a bath” has resulted in a compact house with generously arranged living spaces that can host large family gatherings inside and out. Oversized picture windows and skylights carefully frame views of the garden and sky while maintaining privacy. This clever design makes the most of a tight and challenging site with elegance and confidence.
