2016 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Tawini House
In close response to its Titirangi bush setting, this house delivers an interior world within the trees. Under a kite-like roof-to-ceiling plane (a kite caught in the trees, perhaps) are gathered interior spaces with surprising geometries. Moving through light to dark, the volumes are deftly modulated, thoughtfully conceived by the architect and carefully constructed by the owner-builder. This house has a spatial geometry that provides a sense of ease to its occupants in bush surrounds that can sometimes be unnerving.
