2016 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Nohoroa
Elements of traditional farm buildings are combined into this thoroughly modern interpretation of a courtyard country homestead. Although modern, the house sits comfortably within its hilly site, with its forms providing echoes of the colours, materials and shapes of vernacular farm buildings. Nohoroa means a place to stay for a long length of time, and this house, with its open and desirable views and welcoming, wind-sheltered courtyard and fireplace, would be a wonderful place to do just that.
