Fabric - Architecture and design

We’ve loved developing this home over the past year, and it’s exciting to see consents approved and work now under way on site. Providing shelter from the extremes of Te Anau weather, the large spanning and cantilevered roof consists of mass timber CLT from , supported by hidden LVL beams from , and engineering by .

“The unique design has captured a lot of attention. We’ve had people stop by to enquire about the building, and it has attracted new patients without any formal advertising.”

Among so many inspiring projects, we’re grateful to receive the Supreme Awards at this year’s Architectural Design Awards.

From the judges - “Red Pine Villa stands as a testament to sustainable design and contextual sensitivity. Post-earthquake, this project emphasises the importance of maintaining embodied memory through the recycling of materials and transportable design. The house respects tradition through its form and materiality, while the perforated panels allow for a dynamic play of light, creating layered and filtered interior spaces. Its orientation gestures to the west, aligning with the streetscape proportions and ensuring futureproofing for growth and financial stability.”

It means a lot to be recognised, and to be part of this community.

We have just delivered our contribution to upcoming show ‘Pleasure Garden’. Opening night is this Friday - see you there!

Pleasure Garden
8 Nov–14 Dec
Opening night 7 Nov 5-7pm

Through a host of objects made in reverence to the natural world, Pleasure Garden explores the joys of being outside, whether within the manicured constraints of prim courtyards, hand-tended market gardens, or overgrown and rambling backyards. Gardens tell us much about people’s relationships to place and nature, and give us opportunities to cultivate intimate connections with our immediate environments.

Curated by Zoe Black .a.black and Jordan Davey-Emms , Pleasure Garden assembles artists who are called to the whenua for inspiration, including new commissions from Emma Wallbanks , Amelia Fagence and Mitchell Coll.

Our gratitude to the .nz supporters who have made this exhibition possible, and to match-funders Rātā Foundation, and Christchurch City Council.

Red Pine Villa is a finalist! It is a high-performing, family-friendly sanctuary, and we’re proud to see it recognised. Thank you .nz
