Patchwork Architecture

Party Wall recognises the opportunity afforded by a difficult central site. An intelligent and restrained architectural response, the bold structural gesture grounds the project, triumphing over typology. The simply clad and expressed form shelters two similar dwellings, each offset, supported and serviced by the central in-situ concrete core. The opportunity of the site is embraced by glazing and outdoor living, maximising sun and the remarkable aspect to Kelburn and the Wellington Green Belt. Each unit is compact but generous, materials are considered, expressed with care and crafted detail. These homes provide quality, amenity and comfort, and are suitable to adapt and reinterpret at greater scale.
