2024 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Paper House
A pocket site generates a clever design response, offering a young couple the opportunity to build a standalone home for themselves in an established neighbourhood. Working directly with the contractor for concept and design advice has been, in this instance, a very successful model. Planning parameters have helped generate the primary form, recessive to the rear and side boundaries and ascendant to the street, creating a memorable asymmetrical gable end to the frontage. Dipped in white, the house is playful and the compact plan exudes spatial generosity by virtue of a north-facing, double-height living space.
