2010 Gisborne/Hawkes Bay Architecture Awards Winner
Shoal Bay Beach House
A very strong and simple form placed lightly on the land to maximise and control exposure to the elements. Its light, honest and open nature takes its form from the old farm buildings of the area and challenges the building typology of its immediate neighbours. The deliberate emphasis on materiality and construction, with its quirky detailing, links the users with nature and the elements, paring back the bach experience without sacrificing any of the luxuries that are now expected. A delightful building that is unpretentious while at the same time being a herald of what could be.
