2018 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
The Green House (1977)
Cleverly restored by its new owner to reflect Claude Megson’s initial design intent, the transformation of the house has included the removal of pink glitter from Spanish arch partitions, the reinstatement of vertical links and the addition of a carefully curated colour scheme to highlight the buildings inherent sculptural qualities. Like stepping into a three-dimensional Mondrian painting, the architecture of the house dramatises the vertical links between each space, with small brightly coloured inglenook windows spilling jewel-like light into interior spaces that directly link to the steep, bush-clad site.
