2023 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Ocean View Terrace House
The architect achieved a variety of spaces despite working within the constraints of a prefabrication module and a rational structural and thermal envelope. The steep site and infrastructure constraints are cleverly negotiated, resulting in a compact house with well-defined outdoor rooms that provide the opportunity for living to expand and contract. The house services the needs of a family of five and creates space for interaction and refuge by integrating an outdoor room into its heart. Skilful architecture affords this family a low-energy, low-maintenance, high-delight life.
