2023 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Cambridge Townhouses
A composition of volume, plane and screen, dynamic material textures, and a restrained two-tone palette provide a repertoire of architectural juxtapositions. Landscape and building elements are similarly expressed, and equality utilised in creating an engaging street frontage, concealing party walls, and defining public and private spaces. A sense of engagement and community is evident in the development ethos where kitchens convert to alfresco bar serveries for informal interactions and differing kitchen fitouts provide neighbourly interest. With diversity of accommodation across five townhouses, this development is a significant example of high quality, community minded, medium density housing in New Zealand.
