2024 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Ridge House
This serene addition to a compact worker’s cottage utilises a sequence of cascading spaces to provide much-needed space for a young family and establish connection to the rear garden. Glazing is strategically placed to create connections along both axes with the near and distant views. Openings in the side elevations embrace the density of the surrounding urban fabric, harnessing the potential of the narrow side yards for eastern and western light and outdoor extension of the dining space. Stepping down into living space, flanking brick walls anchor the extension, providing privacy and refuge.
