2016 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
City Beach House
The white box is revisited in this restrained, consistent and delightful suburban beach house. Permeable walls ensure the outside is as much a part of the living experience as the interior. When fully open to the environment the houses achieves an experience akin to the covered veranda. The simplicity of the design is enhanced through texture: rough-sawn painted cladding to interior walls and the white filigree of the expanded-aluminium mesh screens, which filter the light and provide shade, privacy and security. The white-on-white palette is well controlled, calm and ethereal.
