2020 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Parekura Bay House
Exposed concrete frames define this remote Bay of Islands home nestled into regenerated native planting. Responding to the client’s brief, the striking structure is composed of pre-cast concrete frames, creating a rhythm that articulates the mass and gives a nod to the Brutalist tradition. The frames are successfully expressed on both the interior and exterior of the three separate pavilions that follow the contour of the site. Environmental design principles have been well considered throughout and their influence is evident in a house with elongated floor plans, cross-ventilation, high- and low-level glazing, and substantial roof overhangs.
