About the project
Recognition
- Winner2020 NZIA Canterbury Architecture Awards — HousingListed by NZIA as Hursley Terrace
Set along undulating topography, this prefabricated home touches the land lightly above and hunkers in below.
Simple forms and modular construction deliver efficiency without losing character, and a gentle crank in the roof lets it sit quietly in its wider setting. The NZIA jury called it "a new model for living more sympathetically within our grand landscapes."
