2024 Western Architecture Awards Winner
Cracroft House
A deep understanding and respect for the site and clients’ needs has resulted in a well-planned functional home that provides flexibility and joy for the owners, their family and friends. Two robust industrial pavilion forms – public and private – bookend the central hub that can be opened to address Te Awa Tupua or guard against the westerly wind. The well-crafted transition in the public form between the entry, living and flexible ‘garage’ achieves neo- plastic spatial characteristics that meet the demands of family life. The well-detailed lighthouse window draws northern light inside, cleverly celebrates the clients’ faith and offers a point of difference in the suburban development.
