2021 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Rugby Street House
Unique in identity, with the principal façade enhanced by a corten steel sculptural element, this house maintains its suburban street character and scale through a traditional gable form. A series of enclosed yet airy living spaces open to the outdoors, and rooms have been skilfully layered to allow for maximum flexibility while maintaining a sense of connectivity between spaces. Material selection was driven by a preference for environmentally friendly materials – tongue-and-groove timber boards line ceilings and walls, and magnesium oxide is used for bracing and cladding behind the rain screen.
