2013 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Nikau House
This light airy house on a tight urban site effortlessly integrates sustainable design elements to create a serene and luxurious interior while passively responding to its environment. The fundamentals of solar water heating, solar shading and exposed thermal mass are incorporated, but the true innovation is in the considered cross ventilation solution in which timber decking and louvres are used internally to create convection airflow which passively heats and cools the house.
