2022 Hawkes Bay/Gisborne Architecture Awards Winner
Nelson House
Four gabled forms, subtly organised in a pinwheel pattern, create this single storey home, with each distinct but interconnected wing loosely centred around its entrance. Generous in size, the house can accommodate a collection of precious heirlooms from the clients’ former residence and frequent visits from their large extended family. Sumptuous interiors subtly nod to the historic, allowing antique furniture to seamlessly integrate with the house’s crisp modernity. Designed to maximise expansive views over Hawke’s Bay and with numerous outdoor spaces that allow for both sun and shelter throughout the day, the architect has created a home perfectly suited to the clients love of family and hospitality.
