2021 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
Pouaka Waikura Rust Sheds
On the edge of an escarpment overlooking the Shotover River, three elemental rectangular volumes, subtly oriented to sun and view, recall a Donald Judd installation. Without a gable or schist stone in sight, these volumes are uncompromisingly and dramatically clad in Corten steel and concrete. Cladding, fixings, external doors and window awnings are discreetly detailed in keeping with this minimal aesthetic. The spaces within, while similarly elemental and robust, are softened by warm timber surfaces, creating an atmosphere that is both architecturally expressive and complementary to the clients who inhabit it.
