2023 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Our Backyard House
Designed by an architect for her family, this townhouse provides for current needs while also allowing for the future development of an adjacent site. The house presents a sophisticated street presence, with a large window positioned as a venue for displays that celebrate annual events. The external courtyard adds depth to the street frontage and forms a peaceful retreat from the road, extending the living space into a calm, sun-drenched oasis. The refined material palette, use of colour and texture, combine to create a calm and relaxing environment concealed behind a cohesive urban presence on an otherwise sub-urban street.
