2024 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Two Gables
At first glance the house seems to be cut from the same cloth of its new subdivision typology. But appearances can be deceptive. Built on a low budget for a home designed to passive house principles, the outcome delivers a lot and should be seen as an exemplar for what could and should be our future – designing and building to passive house standards and applying these principles to mass development. Simple gable forms are carved, scaled and layered to create a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces. Timber was sourced from family farms and stones in the floor from the owners’ former home in Ōtautahi Christchurch.
