戴维楼

Architect：Creative Arch

Location：Auckland, New Zealand

Project Year：2014

Category：Housing;Private Houses

The essence of the design is a simple, butterfly wedge-shaped form mirroring the shape of the adjacent mountain, with entry on the east side to reflect the Sthapatya Veda design principles.

This striking form is expressed with a recycled power pole shell floating above a dark Shadowclad base. Bricked walls at either end of the wedge are recessed to create protection from the elements doubling as a light box, creating a play of light in the evening.

The wedge's crisp lines and accentuated length contrast with the organic texture of the wood. Internally, the high raking ceilings create a light-filled space, and louvre windows allow fresh air to flow through the home. Recycled NZ Tawa has been introduced internally, featuring in surface sliding doors, bedroom and lounge room feature walls. Materials chosen were required to be natural, non-toxic products suitable to the local climatic conditions. Recycled materials have been used to provide character, and a sustainable focus, through the client's access to the family demolition and recycling business.
