2022 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
River House
A private, rear section alongside the Wairarapa Stream provides a tranquil setting for this serene new home. Two offset gabled forms, joined by a glazed entranceway, create a connection to the stream environment to the west and a garden courtyard to the north, ensuring its owners have multiple options for entertaining, relaxing, and gardening. The natural cedar exterior complements the home’s riparian setting, while large, slatted sliders allow owners to close-off-from, or open-out-to their green surrounds at different times of day, or year. With a high standard of design detailing, material use and moments of surprise within, the architect has created a relaxing, calm and warm home for his clients to enjoy.
