2023 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Studio House
Studio House is a small and extremely well-considered home. Conceived as a relocatable and extendable dwelling, and located on family land, it allows its occupants (who were both designer and builders) to have the security of home ownership without the expense of land. The slipped planning of this dwelling eliminates circulation, and provides a sense of privacy for the bedroom and bathroom spaces within the small footprint. The deck becomes an extension of the interior space, both physically and visually. Significant storage is provided throughout, ensuring this house is an excellent demonstration of how to live small but generously. The ability to relocate this dwelling, or to add a third module in time, has been carefully and realistically considered in the design, adding future flexibility. It is a delightful project that illustrates how the ‘tiny house’ concept can be executed as a highly resolved architectural project.
