2020 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Paetawa Beach House
This house’s beauty comes through its craft and contrasts: a rugged timber and concrete exterior, and refined details and finishes throughout the interior. The twisting geometry of the roof, a response to the strong sun, nestles down over private spaces and lifts to extensive views. Thanks to the house’s high-level glazing, the roof seems to float over interior walls and joinery. In a delightful change from typical beach house interiors, dark materials provide a restful sanctuary from the sun.
