2024 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Raroa House
A clear and innovative planning response to a steep and challenging Wellington site, this home draws inspiration from mid-century modern references, utilising exposed structural bracing to open the front of the home and connect it with the environment. Triangulation of the deep balcony walls creates both a sense of protection and geometric joy. This playful simplicity runs throughout, with green Marmoleum flooring, terrazzo benchtops and earthy bathroom tiles. Generous exterior covered spaces are experienced on both levels, allowing protection from the elements, off-street parking, laundry drying and grounding connection points with the sloping topography.
