2015 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Hekerua Bay Residence
Built to a superb standard on a Waiheke cliff edge, this suave house takes its owner’s Mediterranean background as the springboard for a programme that summons lazy days under a blazing sun. Travertine, in situ insulated concrete and superbly crafted wooden cabinetry are almost the entirety of the material palette. Internally, the underbelly of the curved concrete forms invites caress, like the hulls of a boat up on the hard; externally, the building’s series of shell-like structures reference the gun emplacements of the Gulf. Poised, refined and meticulously crafted, this distinctive response to the client’s brief has resulted in a building like no other on our coast.
