From a small, inner-city renovation to an expansive South Island getaway, we’ve rounded up the most popular houses on ArchitectureNow in 2019. These are the projects that you’ve read, liked and shared the most throughout the year.
1. Poised on the ridge line: Tutukaka home
This home designed by Herbst Architects captures views across to the Poor Knights Islands and takes you on a journey to holiday mode.
2. Mountain living: Roys Peak House
Travelling now to the scenic vistas of Wanaka, this Mason & Wales Architects project takes its cues from the traditional South Island ‘crib’, albeit with a slightly higher profile.
3. To keep you home: Architect’s family residence
Rogan Nash Architects designed this Auckland home for one of its directors, Eva Nash. An NZIA Local Award-winning project, the house offers a shelter for familial bonding.
4. Parnell renovation: Small and tall
A small but mighty cottage in Auckland’s city-fringe suburb of Parnell is transformed by Jack McKinney Architects with full-height glazing and an inviting garden.
5. ‘A piece of sculpture’: Tasman View House
Designed by Modo Architects for clients with a penchant for the nautical, this home utilises the Japanese concept of an engawa – or porch – to bottle up panoramic views.
