2015 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
Ross Creek House
The building form rises from a compact forecourt and basement area across the site to an upper level garden courtyard enclosed by tall stands of native beech and kowhai. Finely crafted canopies provide sun and weather protection above window and door openings. The overall impression is one of restraint, refinement and elegance; the statement of architectural form is deliberate and effective. Each of the many elements has a specific part to play in its function, aesthetics and material energy. All of the strong rectilinear forms complement the impressive garden setting with carefully scaled and materially appropriate extensions of the outdoor living areas.
