[ NEW CABINS ]
A work-in-progress design for visitor accommodation units on a rural site north of Auckland, as part of a broader development of the overall site.
Rural outbuildings have a beautiful and identifiable vernacular, however are often sited solely from a completely functional perspective, without any specific relationship to other buildings or context.
We’ve drawn on aspects of the rural building typology, and crafted a triptych of cabins with a form, character, and materiality stemming from other existing buildings in the area. The proximity and orientation of each cabin to the next is functionally and aesthetically considered, to maximise privacy and outlook, while composing a formally recognised relationship between all three.
