2015 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Fold House
Idyllically situated on a stretch of prime coastal land in the Bay of Islands, this extensive and beautifully finished holiday house not only delivers on the explicit and implicit requirements of its brief but gracefully and without contrivance transcends them. Conceptualized as an encampment — part of a series of such projects which this practice has evolved — and formed by a collection of freely associated but very carefully placed elements, these large buildings sit easily on the ground, exhibiting in their loosely articulated rooflines and casually formed spaces a sense of relaxed living and generous entertainment that perfectly expresses the idea of holidays on the beach. Large though its component parts are this project retains a very human scale.
