2025 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Waikuta
Set on the lakefront, this home thoughtfully intertwines two architectural forms—one echoing the original family bach, the other a modern extrusion of what it might have become. The intimate scale evokes a deep sense of calm, capturing both present tranquillity and nostalgic memory. Materials reference the past but are reimagined with crisp, modern detailing. Together, these elements create a serene retreat where one can sit and quietly watch the seasons shift across the lake and landscape.
