2021 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Tuarangi Whare
The whare on Tuarangi Road is born out of relentless experimentation and a deep connection to whenua and whakapapa. A fragmented, angular plan and walls reference the volcanic past of Tāmaki Makaurau. The rooms continually warp and enclose, allowing unexpected opportunities to lean on a sloping wall and peer through porthole windows. CLT panels create a rich interior and allow bold cantilevers that add to the dynamism of the form. The house is both radical and warm; playful and full of aroha.
