Set in a rural landscape, this house sits on and digs into the land. The form of the building is folded and cut away in places to frame particular views. .
A tall, rectangular aperture frames an expansive view from the living room towards the steeply-sloping eastern landscape. Combined with floor-to-ceiling glazing, the proportion of the aperture shifts the perspective from horizontal to vertical—emphasising the slope of the landform below.

A new steel-clad form sits atop the existing building, and serves two functions: (1) to indicate that a new, modern building resides within, (2) to double the height of the interior ceilings and to provide natural light.

Natural light drops into the interiors of an almost-completed commercial project. The design inserts itself within the shell of a C1940 retail and warehouse building to provide a modern and informal office for a local farm-management business. The location: Te Awamutu, NZ.
