2022 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner

Nightlight

Nestled on the edge of a mature kānuka stand on the slopes above Akaroa, this 13 square metre project provides storage and services for the owners’ future home, to be built on the adjacent site. A polycarbonate shell with vertical modified pine slats reflects the Japanese shoji and illuminates adjacent trees. From outside there is no hint that the structure contains a workshop, kitchen, toilet and shower. Design detail, craftsmanship and a simple material palette enables this building to sit unobtrusively within this site, taking nothing away from its setting and views.
