2024 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Wadestown House
A villa renovation and extension accommodate the needs of a growing family now and into the future. Clever architectural thinking considers the steep site and aspect, creating intriguing, sun-filled volumes with new living, dining, kitchen and utility areas. Progression from the street through the existing villa and down the stairs to the new family areas is a sophisticated strategy of three-dimensional play. New windows frame the bush views beyond and successfully interlock old and new. Delight is brought to everyday living, with a morning courtyard providing an outdoor room, and the over-height glazed Douglas fir window frame providing depth, richness and a playful place to perch.
