A collection of houses where form meets serenity, The Awa is designed to sit comfortably within the established character of Remuera, while offering a refined, contemporary architectural expression. Its façade explores a deliberate contrast of light and dark, enhancing both visual interest and structural clarity. The upper level, wrapped in white brick, evokes lightness and openness; below, charred timber cladding grounds the form with texture and weight. This interplay strikes a quiet balance, with the lighter volume appearing to rest gently above its anchored base.

Inside, the design prioritises spatial clarity and natural light. Open-plan living areas on the ground floor unite the kitchen, dining, and lounge, with full-height glazing that draws in northern and eastern light, creating an expansive, light-filled atmosphere. The upper level offers spaces that cater to young families looking to downsize while maintaining a high level of comfort and functionality. The layout is designed to foster a sense of openness and ease, allowing for seamless transitions between private spaces and shared living areas. The Awa is a refined expression of modern living, where architectural precision aligns with the rhythms of daily life, flowing effortlessly between moments of pause and places of connection.
