2022 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Acacia Bay Gables House
Overlooking Lake Taupo, the dark external gables of this inter-generational home appear humble and unassuming. The interior delights the senses, with the form echoed inside and is combined with a rich material palette, well-considered lighting and exceptional detailing and craftsmanship. Living and main bedroom wings are clearly articulated and are differentiated through two modes of internal finishes. Raw, robust, and tactile living spaces contrast luminous painted surfaces in the bedrooms. Dark masses of shuttered concrete anchor soaring timber ceilings in living spaces while steel framed glazed sliders provide flexibility to the enclosure of rooms. Acacia Bay Gables House is a home that will endure. A home that embraces the unique qualities of each material and provides inviting and uplifting spaces suitable for multiple modes of family life.
