2024 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Austin Pavilion
The pavilion is an urban sanctuary for the clients and their teenagers. Access to this meticulously crafted jewellery box is via the garden, which is also serves as an outdoor room. The architects have achieved privacy, despite the site being surrounded by five properties, and the concept of being at one with the garden has been met. The well-proportioned pavilion is anchored into the site with landscaped concrete walls and a polished concrete floor. Resolving a services challenge, the garden doubles down as a soakage pit to alleviate the lack of public stormwater. Futureproofing is also resolved as the pavilion could one day become a dwelling.
