2020 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Vineyard House
The two wings of this farmhouse pivot around a concealed central entry. Bedrooms are accommodated in a simple low-slung form to the east, allowing light and ready access to views and the landscape. The living wing, which is more complex, steps to encompass two integral outdoor areas, shaped to acknowledge the passage of the sun and to offer protection from prevailing winds. Inside the house, robust concrete elements are softened by crafted oak joinery, creating a warm and welcoming family space. Care in design and a high level of craftsmanship are evident in the sculpted cedar cladding, cleverly shaped to admit and exclude the sun.
