This award celebrates the thoughtful design of a two-bedroom bach that replaces an existing single-level structure on a small, leased site within the Urenui Domain. The jury was impressed by the creative use of space, with a two-level layout that provides expansive family gathering areas while maintaining a strong visual connection to the Domain. The choice of durable timber and locally manufactured floor panels reflects both sustainability and a strong respect for the natural environment. The project successfully navigates strict planning constraints and enriches the community, offering a lasting, functional space for generations to come.
