Inside Tata Beach House by @chaplincrooksarchitects_ 🔎⁠ ⁠ On a remote site, this peaceful bush retreat is designed for effortless coastal living.⁠ ⁠ The light-toned timber structure is left exposed, highlighting craftsmanship and clarity. Carefully considered window placement captures extraordinary views across Tata Beach and Golden Bay, without turning the interior into glass box that overheats. ⁠ ⁠ Openings are positioned to balance outlook, sun, shelter and privacy, for a home that that remains comfortable throughout the year, from sunrise to sunset. ⁠ ⁠ 🏆️ Winner | Nelson & Marlborough Architecture Awards 2026 — Housing⁠ 🏆️⁠ ⁠ 📷️ @george_guille_photographer ⁠ ⁠⁠.⁠ .⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ .⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #nzia #nzarchitecture #newzealandarchitecture #regionalarchitectureawards2026

This simply composed, dark-clad volume sits comfortably on a steep, bush-clad site overlooking Tata Beach. ⁠ ⁠ Through a considered spatial sequence, this home by @chaplincrooksarchitects_ connects two scales of landscape — the nearby bush and the distant coastline. Designed for retirement living with space for family and friends, it offers well-proportioned rooms that open onto a series of sheltered decks with sun, shade, and views across Golden Bay. ⁠ ⁠ The CLT timber construction is clearly expressed throughout, adding craft and a calm rhythm to the interior spaces.⁠ ⁠ 🏆️ Winner | Nelson & Marlborough Architecture Awards 2026 — Housing⁠ 🏆️⁠ ⁠ 📷️ @george_guille_photographer ⁠ ⁠⁠.⁠ .⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ .⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #nzia #nzarchitecture #newzealandarchitecture #regionalarchitectureawards2026⁠

WINNERS | Waikato & Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards 2026 🎉⁠ ⁠ It’s official! We’re thrilled to share 22 projects have been awarded across the region, including a world-class performing arts centre, a new chapter for a beloved cricket venue and a flatpack home that aims to tackle Aotearoa’s urgent need for affordable housing solutions. ⁠ ⁠ “What stood out most this year was the strength of work at both ends of the spectrum: from large-scale projects with far-reaching impact, to smaller, modestly funded projects delivering thought-provoking and innovative outcomes beyond their core brief,” says jury convenor and architect Louise Booth of @objectoffice .⁠ ⁠ Louise was joined on the jury Georgia Peacocke (@edwardswhitearchitects ), Davor Popadich (@davorpopadich ) and Geoff Lentz. ⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Get the details at our link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ Proudly sponsored by @resenecolour and @aplnz_ ⁠ ⁠⁠.⁠ .⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ .⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #nzia #nzarchitecture #newzealandarchitecture #regionalarchitectureawards2026

Ever wanted to step inside the award-winning Walker Box? ⁠ ⁠ Born from a self-build spirit and squeezed onto a sliver of a site, this 63-square-metre tower by @micah_architecture boldly challenges planning norms, spatial conventions, and what a home can be. ⁠ ⁠ Part dwelling, part studio, part homage to Roger Walker, it’s a layered, vertical world of colour, character, and clever detailing. Infectiously fun and deeply personal, Walker Box is a testament to the power of small ideas, lovingly realised.⁠ ⁠ For World MS Day, Walker Box is one of the projects opening its doors for an Open Home Fundraiser, with all proceeds going to the Wellington Multiple Sclerosis Society, supporting their free Community Advisor Mobile Service.⁠ ⁠ 📣 What: Open Home Fundraiser | Wellington Multiple Sclerosis Society⁠ 📅 When: Saturday 30 May⁠ 🔗 Book now at our link in bio⁠ 📷 @david_._straight ⁠⁠.⁠ .⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ .⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #nzia #nzarchitecture #newzealandarchitecture #wellington

Mangapapa School’s redevelopment by @dca_architects transforms a much-loved community school into a safe, connected and future-focused learning campus. ⁠ ⁠ A flexible entry space serves as a threshold, gathering area, and sheltered outdoor room. Inside, paired classrooms are carefully designed with good acoustics, clear separation of spaces, and shared learning in mind. Central kitchen areas connect classrooms and outdoor spaces. ⁠ ⁠ Library nooks, a café-style staffroom, and a clear admin layout support daily use. Timber details and a distinctive roof give the school warmth and identity.⁠ ⁠ 🏆️ Winner | Gisborne & Hawke’s Bay Architecture Awards 2026 — Education⁠ 🏆️⁠ ⁠ 📷️ @simondevitt_photographer ⁠ ⁠⁠.⁠ .⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ .⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #nzia #nzarchitecture #newzealandarchitecture #regionalarchitectureawards2026
