2024 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
The Lookout
This project was conceived of more than a decade ago, and now stands as testament to the owners’ appreciation for regional modernist architecture and their desire for a design that would consider the different views offered by the site. We experienced the house in an empty state with its new occupants’ boxes ready to unpack. The experience was so rich that it was difficult to register the house as uninhabited or empty. From a distance, the structure is bold presence and arrival is dramatic. Once inside, the scale change embraces and calms the soul. Detailing is meticulous, and every now and then there are quirks that should be out of place yet define the home’s relaxing qualities.
