2022 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Faith & Doubt
With Faith & Doubt, the architect has respectfully and sensitively restored a dilapidated church, while radically challenging the norms of domestic living. The result is a race-ready machine for habitation that’s been pared back to the bones. Here, the need for cupboard doors, wardrobes, drawers and even bedrooms is challenged. Mobile sleeping pods mean the home’s teenage occupants must always use shared living spaces - utilising architecture to encourage communication and engagement of the family unit. Moments of fun abound, the family’s personality shines through, making Faith & Doubt a home in which to live ‘a life less ordinary.’
