2023 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner

Brick House

Completed as the second instalment in an eventual trio of homes, this project is a meditation on restraint and simplicity. Designed by an architect for his family, the modest home is compelling in plan, section, volume and attitude, contributing a great deal to the ongoing debate around housing affordability in New Zealand. Generous living areas open to a peaceful external terrace that extends the internal volumes. Bedrooms are tucked away above the main living areas, clearly demarcating public and private zones. The external character is a result of simple, robust materials overlayed to subtle shifts in form and planar orientation.
