2022 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Gable House
In contrast to surrounding homes, the Gable House has been built away from the street front, lowering the house from the road edge to create a degree of separation and privacy from its neighbours. The split-level home creates a series of single and double height spaces that link with outdoor courtyards down the hillside. The design of the home has been based on Passive House principles. It uses a number of construction methods to create an energy conscious home wrapped in a simple robust and low maintenance cladding. The house imbues a sense of solidity and permanence as it withstands nature’s extremes, all the while furnishing the needs of its family through life stages from parents with a baby to a house for teenage children and beyond.
