2022 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Fife House
“A story of loving iterations” is the description given by Pete Bossley of the home he shares with his partner and artist Miriam van Wezel. This is beautifully evident in the array of ‘adjustments’ played out across the original house over many years. Everywhere are moments of thoughtful consideration and experimentation, but also accumulation that allow the house to echo deeply the shifting nature of its owners’ lived collaboration. Rich in idiosyncratic envelop shifts, mobile elements, unexpected interconnections, and an affable reworking of front, back and side yards, the house, with no particular “end game in sight”, offers an utterly compelling vision of place-remaking.
