Of the winners, eight were\u00a0from the Queenstown Lakes district.<\/p>\n

Works included\u00a0Terrington Court, Queenstown, by Ant Jackson, of Immersion Architecture.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis compact coastal holiday home provides a nice balance between indoor and<\/p>\n

outdoor living, and a strong connection to the environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing robust vernacular materials, this design provides everything required of a crib,\u201d its citation said.<\/p>\n

The project honoured the bach\u2019s \u201cdistinctive\u201d form while lifting the structure to suit contemporary family life, its citation said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSensitive retention of exterior access, an expressive black ceiling\u00a0and a striking \u2018shower with a view\u2019 demonstrate clever spatial thinking.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith its modest footprint, the design achieves remarkable generosity, privacy\u00a0and connection to landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aubrey Home, W\u0101naka, by Bryce Monk, of Threefold Architecture Ltd, was celebrated for its\u00a0modern, rustic aesthetic.<\/p>\n
