2022 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Spring Creek Revisited
Time can be unkind to architect-designed homes if changes of ownership and subsequent alterations in differing styles undermine the original intent. Here, fortuitously, a much loved 12-year-old house remains with its first owners and has now been enhanced by the original architect. Kept low and seamlessly in tune, an outdoor room extension transparently transitions between the house and adjacent Spring Creek, linking conditioned outdoor living with both, and enhancing site connection. Wind, sun, and rain are controlled by sliding glass screens and variable overhead louvres, making this a space to enjoy in all seasons.
