hammerhead house

2005 NZIA Jury Citation : " A well detailed crisp wooden box sits on top of a concrete block base that draws upon the typology of the seaside bach. To capture the views the living areas have been located on the first floor with an easy transition from the point of arrival via an exterior stair to the terrace. The bedrooms are housed within the concrete block base. The simple container is enlivened by robust timber detailing and the use of movable sunscreen devices to animate the exterior envelope."
