2020 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
Willow House
In this project, bold forms have been layered on a steep rocky site to make the most of views, sun and opportunities for natural ventilation. The upper form floats over a structured schist base, and overhangs manage summer and winter sun. Inside, the clients’ needs have been fully considered, from the entry with ample storage to the laundry which doubles as a bar serving the house’s sheltered southern courtyard. The architect’s consciousness of sustainability and thermal comfort means the home’s delighted owners are promised a happy future overlooking Lake Wakatipu.
