2021 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Waipapa
This home speaks to the vernacular of its surroundings, with scoria-red corrugated iron and walnut-stained cedar cladding recalling the classic Kiwi farm shed. The house nestles into its location next to the Pungapunga river and responds sympathetically to the landscape beyond. Everything is considered, from exceptional detailing to spaces that are both functional and inviting; from multi-use bedrooms to an open-plan entertaining area. Outdoor rooms with screen actuators mimic the ritualistic aspects of camping while retaining access to the comforts of modern living.
