2016 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Valley M
This home is a thoughtfully considered addition to a common villa typology. It speaks of domestic history, integrity and clarity all at the same, modern time. The kitchen, pushed into the garden, creates neighbouring privacy to the north while enabling a sensible and pragmatic operation of food storage, preparation, cooking and then cleaning. Sitting in the garden, looking back at the additions, it becomes obvious that the architect has spent much valuable time with his client-carpenter. The result is a wonderful family environment. This is the work of a seriously talented architect.
