2017 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Awarua Street Residence
Thoughtfully wrapped around a private outdoor court this compact infill home on a quintessential Wellington hillside site steps assuredly over three terraces tailored neatly to the underlying topography. Precisely positioned openings allow the home to connect to outdoor spaces, capturing views and sun while astutely preserving privacy from neighbouring dwellings and the road below. The owners’ collection of treasures are joyfully displayed in a modestly crafted palette of interior materials, while the exterior is sheathed in a protective outer skin of steel, cut away only at the courtyard and deck to frame more gentle timber surrounds.
