2017 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Kirkway House
This house sits purposely on an elongated seafront section. The angled forms of the house extend along the narrow section, divided internally by a generous gallery, allowing the visitor a glimpse of the full view beyond. The living area of the house opens out to the north and west, providing options for exterior dwelling. The material selection and attention to detail, both internally and externally, has been thorough and rigorous, with a roof of zinc scales cloaking the stepped roof. Shuttered concrete walls anchor the adjacent spaces, providing a sense of protection and textural contrast to the timber inside and out.
