ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Award 2013
Allandale House WINNER
Category: New Home between 150m² and 300m^2
‍Judges’ comments: Impressed by the planning and cross section of this house which work excellently and address issues of the slope across the site. The designer has used a rich palette of materials to make a warm and engaging home. Allandale House has been integrated into a hill-site and is surrounded by native bush capturing views looking down to Lyttelton harbour to the north east. An environmental design ethos was a high priority and so environmentally sourced materials and recycled finishing timber have been used extensively in the house . Joinery is solid timber rather than MDF.

ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Awards 2013
Mount Pleasant WINNER
Category: Residential Interiors
Judges’ comments: This striking and consistently white interior accentuates the colours of the landscape seen through the windows and doors. Far from being boring, the monochrome spaces are calm and beautiful and bring order to the complex, non-linear compact plan.

ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Awards 2013
Mount Pleasant WINNER
Category: Residential Alterations & Additions Architectural Design Award
Judges’ comments: The major addition to the street side front of this house on a hillside site, has converted a simple and straight forward older house into a striking residence. The use of the change in levels has been an effective way to add accommodation within the tight boundaries of the site and also to create useful and attractive outside spaces from the main living areas. The brief was for alterations and additions to be completed on a modest, single level, three bedroom, weatherboard home. The result is a home undistinguishable from the original ­ all linings, claddings and windows have been replaced and the house has been transformed into a unique, multifunctional four level luxury residence.

ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Awards 2013
8 Star Mod House WINNER
Category: Residential Compact New Home up to 150m²
An environmentally sound 149sqm timber frame home, this home is amongst the most energy efficient houses and the first 8-star Homestar rated home built in New Zealand. Modest, modern, modular and earthquake resilient the rationale was to create a model house that demonstrates that building high performance homes can be achieved affordably. The home also has a very small ecological footprint – targeting zero energy use through excellent thermal design and the use of PV solar panels to provide more than enough power.
