2025 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Alberon
This alteration and addition to a special character Edwardian bay villa skilfully resolves issues of entry, connection and privacy. The new entry positioned between old and new allows direct access into the heart of the house. A voluminous new living and dining area is created to the south, with a highly reflective narrow stainless-steel skylight providing light and leading the eye out to the beautiful stepped garden beyond steel French doors. Contextual, moveable aluminium shutters to the edge of the newly formed elevated terrace create privacy and layered filtered light to the interior. The mainly white colour scheme is brought alive by the texture of the selected materials.
