2010 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Cubana
Cubana stands apart from other multi-unit residential projects as it seeks to engage directly with Cuba Street, drawing on the rich palette of materials and �architectural moves� the street offers. Proportionally appropriate, the plan has been teased out of its narrow site and the structure sits back from the street in a comfortable relationship with existing building lines. Spaces are quirky and non-conformist and the architect has provided outdoor living areas with clever levels of privacy. It is graffiti architecture � grungy and streetwise � and makes no apologies for this.
