House of the Year

An existing 1930s duplex consisted of a ground-floor and first-floor apartment, each with its own external access.

A light, bright home with a functional layout utilising a layered, mixed material palette.

Two empty nesters sought a highly energy-efficient home that was comfortable all year, would allow them to age in place, accommodate visiting family and obtain privacy yet still be connected to the neighbourhood

A humble, “beachy” holiday home for a retired couple. As well as accommodating the kids and grandkids, the residence needed to have a strong connection to nature.

A weekend retreat for the homeowner and up to four guests with a design that respects and embraces the spectacular rural location.

Open spaces saturated in natural light, enhanced by high ceilings and good airflow. And a generous amount of glass, with doors and windows that open completely.
