2023 Western Architecture Awards Winner
Kanuka Drive Home
Located on a compact urban site adjoining Manawatū Golf course, this dynamic home is designed around a progression of shifting angles that direct views across the fairway and differentiate internal spaces. A well-provisioned programme within the envelope allows for extended family and friends to stay. The two living spaces feel connected via the central kitchen, yet maintain their own sense of intimacy and individual character. The ceiling elevation is carefully articulated with tall skylights that create contrasting experiences of enclosure and loftiness. The detailing is meticulous. Large custom-printed porcelain tiles clad the exterior and interior, with crisp mitre joints at angular junctions. Precision of materials makes every view a delight.
