2015 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
The Crossing
As is frequently the case — although in spite of having almost the status of a rule the fact is often forgotten — a small hilltop house operates with greatest effect because of its restraint and simplicity. Effectively a tent, consisting of a tight metal skin wrapped over a folded volume, the building occupies its prominent site unmediated by gardens or any form of self-conscious landscaping. Interior spaces reflect the geometries of the external skin and the language of folded metallic planes is skillfully expressed in interior elements and fittings. This is a great little house, clearly a delight to its owner and no less of a pleasure to visitors.
