lodge at the hills
‘A major renovation expresses the concept of a farmyard gathering of buildings, creating a robust connection to the house’s surrounding rural landscape. Strong, simple and refined forms are connected by glazed infills creating a cohesive plan, elegantly executed. Spaces are refined by their material palette and their scale: space is presented as place. In this house, playfulness and sobriety co-exist in equal measure. Contemplation is the order of the day: walls become backdrops to art as well as artful elements of architecture. Materials appear simple, but are sophisticated in their delivery; craft integrates with architecture to create a stunning home.’ NZIA
