2023 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Gable Extension
The traditional street frontage to this Westmere bungalow conceals a dramatic addition to the rear. Breaking with convention on a well-known renovation typology, this superb new living volume is defined by a simple gable roof form combined with the extensive use of natural-finish cedar, to stunning effect. Every beam, rafter, post and finishing element has been carefully considered, composed and aligned with a meticulous attention to detail that talks to the architect’s command of the design, documentation and project delivery process. This project is a lesson as to what’s possible when a single idea is defined, pursued and then executed with near flawless precision.
