2010 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Takapuna House
�Less is more� sums up this extensive alteration of an architecturally designed 1980s house on a busy beach. The removal of �80s style excesses has exposed a well-proportioned courtyard house with modern bones. Skilful reconfiguring of key walls and the staircase has opened the home up to the light, creating new circulation and visual links. Although the aesthetic has been modernised with all new door and window joinery, quality internal materials and fittings, the house has developed a classic seaside feel that is relaxing and not too precious.
