2015 Hawkes Bay/Gisborne Architecture Awards Winner
Longbush House
Conceived as a building in a landscape, the house successfully relates to the native bush line to the south with a series of layered mass walls with small openings, and to the open expanse of the river valley beyond with large glazed openings, void and volume. The interior finishes of native timber panelling and exposed rafters are refined to a high detail and exhibit quality craftsmanship and a comforting interior. The project is also to be commended in its thoughtful preservation of two archaeological sites. The home is truly in harmony with its environment and its owners.
