2023 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Head of the Bay
This Marlborough Sounds renovation features a fully reclad triple gable form that opens up to two new monopitch pods to the north. Existing gable tops have been fully glazed, drawing light into the open-plan interior, while the new sleeping pods provide ample room for extended family. Although compact, the pods are well planned and crafted to ensure good use of space. The positioning of the new pods creates a pleasant stepped outdoor living space sheltered from southerly winds. Steps of varying heights create casual seating, while the timber decking serves to connect all buildings to each other and the foreshore.
