2013 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Newcombe House
Coconut and cream, with a solid concrete block base below and redwood stained brise soleil aloft, this two-storeyed house overlooking Judges Bay embodied Critical Regionalism before the term was invented. Proudly Pacific, it took its lead from the Californian Case Study houses, meeting the challenge of a height restriction and an unstable cliff edge with equanimity.
