Set on a private rear section alongside Wairarapa Stream, this home uses two offset gabled forms linked by a glazed entry. Natural cedar cladding complements its riparian setting, while slatted sliders allow flexible connection to outdoor spaces. Interiors balance warmth and calm with detailed material selections. Winner of the NZIA Canterbury Architecture Award 2022, the home was described as “serene and refined, with moments of surprise within.” A tranquil retreat in the heart of Fendalton.
