2015 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
Wanaka House
This home presents itself dynamically to the street with a unique and dynamic folded form that breaks away from traditional and contemporary preconceptions of what a house should be. The continuous concrete spine that is the backbone of the house firmly grounds internal and external spaces to the site and provides screening from the street. The compact floorplan has volume and openness / enclosure and intimacy. No space is wasted and the arrangement cleverly resolves conflicts between views, sunshine and predominant winds. All components are bespoke and specific to function, but are carefully parts of the whole. There is fantastic attention to detail, with built-in furniture crafted around the needs and possessions of the owners.
