2020 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Thorndon Villa Light Catcher Alteration
This carefully crafted small extension to an 1870s heritage villa transforms the existing house well beyond its small footprint. Far from the traditional lean-to add-on, the extension takes advantage of every opportunity to admit light, facilitate cooking as a sociable pastime, and provide comfort and a connection to the rear garden. Skylights and slot windows are skillfully inserted to allow to the play of light on an artfully textured extension wall.
