2020 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Kaiteriteri Family Bach
The house presents a closed face to the street, concealing what lies within, but entry reveals crafted living spaces, with flanking bedroom wings spreading out to include the adjacent wetland within a generous outdoor area. Prefabricated structural elements were incorporated throughout to facilitate a tight construction programme, and sliding openings and articulated louvres allow interior spaces to be naturally ventilated and daylighting controlled. Careful planning allows for a summertime crowd, accommodated in a delightfully detailed bunkroom or plug-in camper vans. Accessed by a glazed ‘drawbridge’, the master-suite offers a resort-style retreat from the more communal living and sleeping wings.
