The Residential New Home award has been won by Tushka Glintmeyer and Nathan Rooney of Wellington-based Space Architecture Studio for the design of a Waikanae beach house. The scheme was honored under the category of ‘homes under 250 square meters’. The scheme has also won an award for its interior design and exterior color scheme.
The award for homes in the category of Residential New Home over 250 square meters was won by Graeme Calcott, of Wellington firm Calcott Architecture and Landscape Design. The home is situated in a lifestyle block in Tawa.
