2017 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Knowles House
Requiring extensive earthquake repairs to their family home, the clients took the opportunity to remove the vehicle dominance to the rear of their site and insert a swimming pool and pool house. Other improvements included the sensitive relocation of the garage within the fabric of the existing character home, north terrace louvres and wind shelter, as well as extensive terracing and landscape improvements. The traditional role of the architect and the architect’s expertise were celebrated in this project – the architect managed the complete repair and refurbishment works under three separate contracts between the client and insurance company. The process has resulted in sympathetic alterations and hidden repair works to the clients’ forever family home.
