2023 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Waimauku House
This home defies its antipodean location with an identity and character that wouldn’t be out of place in numerous rural settings around the world. In dispensing with traditional notions of New Zealand residential typologies, the house unashamedly claims the landscape. Significant in area and ambition, this home steps along a central spine, with various rooms and spaces extending out towards the landscape. Natural timber panelling and raw concrete planes frame the internal volumes and define the linear external form, while the substantial pool and outdoor living anchor and ground this exceptional home. At once robust and refined, this project adds much to the debate of what residential architecture can be in Aotearoa.
