2024 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Lake Taupo House
The conceptual catalyst for this replacement home was a cluster of boatsheds. Now, a trio of connected gables thoughtfully return the occupation of this site to a reduced scale that’s sympathetic to the setting. The volumes deftly slide past each other to break up the mass on arrival, while connecting and creating spaces within. The central courtyard enables the surrounding spaces to extend into sheltered outdoor areas during inclement weather. Sliding screens tune the level of privacy, allow adjustments to suite weather conditions and create intimate semi-outdoor areas with a variety of views.
