2020 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Riverside Bach
This simple, unadorned, but skillfully composed bach was designed and built to test a 7 metre x 7 metre typology for future use as infill and affordable housing. A very informed architectural brief from the client included a counterweighted upper floor plate which can be raised to give volume to the living room below, or lowered when family come to stay and extra sleeping space is needed. Scale and detail are key to this beautiful timber-clad bach that utilises small dwelling tactics to achieve comfort and flexibility within a skillfully composed and detailed envelope.
