2020 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Chemis Cabin
Nestled unobtrusively into a lush native bush environment, this highly compact rectangular cabin composed of three connected cells – bedroom, living space and kitchenette, central bathroom – is concealed and secured by a sliding wall. An ample deck extends into a garden with outdoor bath. Passive House design principles are realised in a high-performing insulated exterior with airtight interiors and heat recovery system. Ample natural light filters through large windows, opening the interior into the garden setting and unifying the indoors with the natural environment.
