2021 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Tai Tapu House
A sense of calm pervades this house, which nestles into a knoll overlooking Tai Tapu and beyond. The careful arrangement of the plan provides a sheltered entry courtyard and a suite of living spaces, which enjoy broad views and a quiet domesticity. This quietude is enhanced by a refined palette of materials like glazed wooden joinery, boarded timber ceilings, raw concrete elements and polished concrete floors that follow the contours of the land to form a relaxed and cohesive family home.
