2018 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Rawene House
Volumetric control, a lovely spatial flow, adept handling of natural light and well-chosen and crafted materials combine to produce a calmly ordered and serene home. Courtyard spaces on either side of a central spine punctuate progress through the house, and, without overt delineation, organise the building into discrete zones. The route from front door leads, compellingly, to the sea: anticipation generated by the journey is rewarded by arrival in light-filled living areas, which look over the terrace to the inner reaches of the Waitematā Harbour.
