2021 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Shark House
In response to the clients' brief for a building that was “a defiance to a box”, this home is anything but a box! The design draws inspiration from the client’s infatuation with European supercars – namely the Maserati. Like the car, the sculpted, almost muscular look of the envelope ebbs and flows to translate into dynamic movement. The interior opens into a soft, colourful and inviting decor that both complements and contrasts with the stark and more monochromatic exterior. That dynamism and movement are constant, as interior spaces spill onto a sequence of linked garden zones that are used at different times of the day as the sun circles the house.
