2017 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Matakana House
This holiday home has possibly one of the most architecturally exiting handlings of a corner seen in many years: the sculptural ease of the northern corner as it turns to the east is masterful both inside and out. There is a subtle nod to the high timber screens over the entry of John Scott’s Futuna Chapel, and this re-visiting of 1960s architecture reveals itself in other places throughout the building. The engagement of the architect is evident throughout, from the control of light to the testing of material limits and the privileging of children’s spaces in the planning.
