2022 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Hepburn’s Road House
Located in a rural mid-Canterbury setting with views to Mt Somers and the foothills of the Southern Alps, this contemporary home of interconnected pavilions references the silhouette and detailing of Warren and Mahoney’s Christchurch houses of the 1960s and is a wholly appropriate response to its site. The traditional forms and the selection of materials that set up a hierarchy from supporting spaces in timber weatherboard to principal rooms in concrete, speak to the intended longevity that was part of the client brief. The restraint and careful attention to detail that has been exercised by the architect has resulted in a beautiful home that is rich in experience.
