2022 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Four Winds
By centering the house around landscaped courtyards, a swimming pool and gardens, this seaside home blurs the transition between inside and out, maximising its coastal location and hillside surroundings. All-day sun, shelter from the prevailing winds and privacy are achieved through the clever use of levels, extensive glazing, generous rooflines and sliding timber screens. Well-proportioned interiors and a thoughtful floorplan provide a warm, light home, which responds to the clients’ lifestyle. Whitewashed macrocarpa cladding that reflects the beachside environment, and a vegetable garden that opens to the street, both ensure this new home sits comfortably within its residential neighbourhood.
