2012 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Dickinson House
Client and architect have transformed a sound and functional 1920s five bedroom house into a finely fashioned home for two, with pool house, guest house, and garage. Set back and private from the road to the east this house completely opens up to the drama of the sea to the west. An interest in art nouveau and craft has led to a decorative design strategy, and the success of this project lies in the architect’s attention to detail and materials, and the craftsmanship and skill of the fabricators. The design rigour and expressive use of timber, zinc, and brick is what gives this project particular moments of joy.
