2020 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner

Maungārongo

This compact whare evolved out of the clients’ desire to create a contemporary Māori domestic space, and the resulting design is a deeply personal one, steeped in meaning and informed by whakapapa. The home has a spiritual and cultural relationship to the land and is carefully aligned with Mauāo (Mt Maunganui) and connected to Otūmoetai Pā; it is also considerate of the site’s climate and environment. Entry is by invitation to the back of this refreshingly different house, into a space of welcome and the heart of the home. And the name? It means ‘peace’.
