2022 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Matipo House
This is a well-ordered new home of substance that sits both confidently and comfortably on its seaside site. The street façade has been articulated to provide a similar scale to adjacent residences. Off-the-form, insitu concrete has been combined with the warmth of timber to provide a rich, textural sophistication both inside and out. The central concrete wall acts as a spine that separates the main entertaining living wing from the private bedroom and service areas and sits as its own element providing a base for artwork. This is a highly crafted home that has a strong sense of permanence.
