2020 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Hill House at Hahei
The architect’s response to a brief for a pole house has resulted in a holiday home that winds its way up, over and through a grid of variable-height tanapoles. Part fort and part tramper’s hut, the robust house is playful and surprising, revealing and concealing views over Hahei and the headland. With its series of indoor and outdoor spaces punctuated by poles, the design succeeds as a strong and idiosyncratic shelter against the elements.
