2018 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
The Family Bach
This refreshing and honest little getaway doesn’t take itself too seriously. An array of vernacular forms cleverly frames outdoor space, while offering privacy from the subdivision beyond and for inter-generational gatherings. Construction techniques, which are clearly expressed, hark back to the A-Frame; exposed timber interiors add warmth and vibrancy, while the exterior dark-stained cedar and steel roofing bring compositional consistency and embed the forms into the landscape. ‘The Folly’, a tower containing a woodstore and elevated bunkrooms, and yellow accents provide some contrast.
