2021 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Thornton + Hasegawa House
This design for a modest home not only considers its environmental impact, but presents an affordable and architecturally rich solution. Pulled forward from the hillside to minimise excavation on its steep site, this two-storey tower occupies a footprint just 50 metres square. Interior volume is carefully balanced with perfectly sized compact spaces, and bedrooms that connect to a slim, double-height, north-facing space via interior shutters. Kitchen and bathroom utility areas borrow space from the central stair to become more generous. Clever storage solutions are abundant and add another layer of architectural delight to this home.
