2019 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Checkers, Pauanui
An aging volume builder home has been wrapped, extended and rebooted. No easy task – given the askew site orientation seeking glimpses of sea and bulky neighbours – but one that has been achieved with a sure and deft hand. Through a carefully considered addition and calmly composed details, this formerly nondescript beach home has been given a wonderful second life. It is a testimony to architecture’s ability to rise above constraints and limitations.
