2022 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Russell's Cabins
Located on an elevated site offering views across the Omihi vineyards, a series of three near-identical cabins, all less than 10 square metres, are cleverly positioned within existing vegetation to create privacy, external courtyard spaces and to frame unique views, despite their proximity to each other. To ensure a more efficient, cost-effective construction method, the cabins were constructed off-site, in the builder’s warehouse, and lifted into position to sit on timber platforms. Macrocarpa weatherboard exterior, eucalyptus interior and recycled wharf timber decks, along with the variation in elevations of the three huts, ensure the accommodation sits effortlessly within its surroundings.
