2024 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Parirau
Nestled into a rocky garden high on the slopes of Ōhinerau Mt Hobson, the pin-wheel plan steps down the hill capturing sun and distant views across the eastern suburbs. Diminishing volumes distinguish the room hierarchy under the large parirau/wing of the house. A distinctive ceiling of lapped ply references bird feathers. Meticulous timber detailing to cabinetry, doorways and floors navigates through the stepped levels. Well-constructed with astute attention to detail.
