2018 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
12 Year House
A precast concrete spine embeds this farmhouse into huge boulders on a steep hillside site above Cable Bay. The long, skinny form echoes the contours of the land, carefully framing a long, telescopic view over Delaware Bay Estuary and a framed panorama over Cable Bay Beach. A central opening in the cranked form has made a welcoming veranda entry for this compact, original and creative new home.
