2021 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Te Arai
Conceived as a pair of big sheds sitting alongside the sand dunes, this large family getaway is testament to an architect-client relationship that has resulted in a beautiful, serene encampment. Here, sumptuous and elegant materials and details appear simple and effortless, undoubtedly in contrast to the huge effort and care this stunning project demonstrates. The natural flow of the spaces into one another offers connection balanced with appropriate separation, all the while maintaining wonderful engagement with the outside and its stunning vistas. Design elements that encourage relaxation - built-in seating, sheltered verandas, sunscreens and fireplaces - are beautifully crafted and generously proportioned, combining to create a calm and luxurious beachside environment.
