2023 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Tent House
The simplicity of the Tent House form belies a masterful response to a constrained site, while clearly evoking a beachside vernacular in its form. Expertly resolved levels create effortless circulation horizontally and vertically throughout the home, interfacing with site in a myriad of considered ways. Openings and decks are uniquely articulated based on use, views, shelter and privacy. Externally, material selection, its usage and detailing, are determined by robustness, spatial orientation and building concept. A predominant colour palette of whitewashed timber, powdered blues and sandstone grey is refined and restrained yet sophisticated throughout. An example of leading-edge architectural thought and execution.
