2024 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Glider
A reimagined A-frame house, the Glider defies its size by rescaling perspective. This simple form is splayed and anchored at four points in the sand dunes of Tara Iti Golf Club. A timber- clad roof deftly disguises a large skylight to the central living space and is peeled back from the sides to reveal a bedroom suite either side. Exquisite detailing combined with cleverly proportioned spaces ensures this house is handsome, expansive and confident, its serene tone achieved by the controlled use of limited materials. The sweeping form of the timber roof unites it all with technical adroitness.
