2010 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Nihinihi Avenue
Located to capture views over the river estuary and distant harbour entrance, this modern holiday home is a composition of separate forms � two black-stained timber boxes that overhang a concrete plinth. Full of surprises, the house transforms effortlessly from cosy individual spaces to open plan when required. A covered deck opening from the living space provides another intimate space within the whole. The house is a predominantly white-painted space with a deliberately reduced colour palette. Accent colours from the natural materials and furnishings complement the aesthetic.
