2022 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Wildwood
‘Reduce, reuse, recycle’ could well be the motto for this beautifully crafted and well-considered sustainable home. Demonstrating that bigger isn’t better, Wildwood caters for a growing family, while leaving as little impact on the planet as possible. Although going off-grid wasn’t a requirement of the brief, reducing the impact on resources both during construction and for the life of the building was. SIP panels provide an efficient structure and a warm, airtight envelope, while no concrete and a minimal amount of steel was used. A simple palette of materials makes this home feel warm and inviting, and a central void provides a focal point that plays with light and form, compression and release. Wildwood is a beautiful example of how a home can provide delight to its occupants and be kind to the planet.
