2024 Hawkes Bay/Gisborne Architecture Awards Winner
Black Beech House
Positioned on a diagonal axis between two mature poplar trees, Black Beech house is carefully integrated into its vineyard setting. Beneath the roof canopy, spaces for living, sleeping and working are grouped around a central courtyard and linked by internal ‘streets’. With its open oculus, the courtyard provides a sheltered outdoor space for the clients who eschew bright sunshine yet desire connection with the outdoors. View shafts through the courtyard provide connectivity within the house and vistas of the landscape and ocean.
