2015 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Chatsworth Pavilions
The architects have challenged standard living conventions in their response to the client’s desire for a home built around the existing native trees on the site. Two pavilions, one for living and one for sleeping, linked by an open deck are set among the trees. There is a constant awareness of the trees and the outside environment; to move between the living and sleeping pavilions you cross the deck under the canopy of trees, while inside each pavilion has double-height windows that frame views of the trees.
