NZIA Waikato and Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards – Housing – Hikuai Hill House

Judges Comment – A spectacular site, and clients who long contemplated escaping into a rural idyll, have resulted in a compact and faithful expression of the clients’ ideals. A strongly axial arrangement has as its centre the open living pavilion – a spare, contemplative space. Intersecting forms provide secondary and utility space, and a screened northern porch floats into the landscape and frames the mountain views. A floating gable signals the rural home; outstretching ancillary forms are modelled in contrasting steel and larch.

Good Design Award 2020 – Architectural Design Commercial and Residential category – Docherty House

Judges Comment – Compact and modest in scale, this house beautifully accommodates the ‘essentials’ for its clients on a remarkable site. Home, office, lock and leave – it is a practical and good lifestyle solution. An aesthetically pleasing design for a compact house. ”

NZIA Auckland Architecture Awards – Housing – Allum St

Judges Comment – This engaging home responds well to its sloping site with carefully framed views across a reserve and intimate garden courtyard spaces. The design – articulate and complex with an unusual plan – achieves calm-yet-rich spatial qualities via a concrete ribbon wall, chamfered spaces, a surprising ‘yellow box’ containing the kitchen and a tonally rich palette of materials.

NZIA Auckland Architecture Awards – Housing – Resene Colour Award – Allum St

Judges Comment – The strict – and unusual – colour palette works from the landscape in, and incorporates the box-within-a box yellow kitchen, waxed steel, inky-stained Strandboard and ‘Twin Peaks’ velvet curtains that instil a sensuous otherworldly quality.

NZIA Auckland Architecture Awards – Housing – Alterations and Additions – Marine Parade

Judges Comment – Intriguing from the street with its spare, brooding style, inside this house reveals a host of pleasures and surprises that take their cue from its original quality build in the 1970s. A faithful attention to period detail – including superb cabinetry which mimics elements of 1970s design already extant in the house – does not overshadow the success of the repurpose of the house for modern living. A reconfiguration of some of the interior programme, two substantial additions, and a bold exterior ‘wrap’ have created a house of distinction, substance and elegance.

NZIA Auckland Architecture Awards – Housing – Easterbrook

Judges Comment – Modest in its aspirations, dimensions and budget, this small house for a family of four, nestled in a Titirangi bush glade, is a delight. Every aspect of the house works hard to offer storage, purpose, comfort, sun and surprise. From the window seats in the childrens’ bedroom and the diminutive bathroom that still holds room for a claw-foot bath, to the immaculate cabinetry and the artful pings of colour, it is a carefully controlled and considered exercise which has yielded an airy, playful, entirely relaxed and quite joyful outcome.

NZIA Auckland Architecture Awards – Housing – Godden Cres

Judges Credit – This large modern home has been carefully sited, with respect to the existing mature trees, to provide a wonderfully proportioned living pavilion, open to views of the garden, the pool and an enticing outdoor room. The well-resolved spatial composition allows for a gallery and significant areas of additional accommodation arranged in a further two separate building volumes, which provide shelter and framing to the expansive pool courtyard.

NZIA Auckland Architecture Awards – Interior Architecture – Tyler Street Garage

Judges Comment – Tyler Street Garage is a bar slotted cunningly into a Britomart heritage building, making use of existing car-park markings and complementing the raw and rugged beauty of existing walls. Careful furniture selections and a fantastic roof deck add to the overall effect.

NZIA Auckland Architecture Awards – Residential Architecture – Houses – Coopers Beach House, Northland

Judges Comment – This beach house has an overall feeling of simple restraint. Modest materials used in deceptively simple ways manipulate site, space and light to organise the ‘bach’ in a straightforward, playful and inventive way. The surprise placement of circulation along the perimeter appears to have been the key in unlocking the architectural solution.
