2021 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Takahē House
Making the most of an exceptional outlook over coastal wetlands towards Kapiti Island, the simple form of this home nestles into the dunes while sheltering internal courtyard spaces from the prevailing winds. The thoughtfully composed floor plan divides the home into quadrants of use while ensuring sea views are always handy; the central spine containing kitchen and dining connects the entryway to ocean views beyond. External timber claddings continue seamlessly inside and out, and immaculate construction reveals some crafty detailing.
