Selected Project
Ian Louise House
‘The building, a greyed timber box, blends into its rocky beach site. The interior of the house is formed as a series of interlocked spaces which spiral, shell-like, around a vertical circulation core. Projecting windows tightly frame views of bush and sea; lines of louvres draw in the sound of the waves. The reading of the building shifts from greyed driftwood, to bleached shell, to beachside caravan or beached yacht. It is deeply considered, ingeniously compact, a finely tuned instrument for beachside living’ NZIA NZ Award Jury comments 2006 Photos: Simon Devitt
