A renovated beach shack, a gabled family home and a mid-century modern-inspired interior are among the winners of Bay of Plenty architecture awards.
Werner Naude, of DCA Architects of Transformation, Adam Taylor, of ata, and Jon McAlpine, of TGA Ltd, have taken home prizes in this year's ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Awards, held on Friday night.
Naude won three awards for two projects, including a family home titled "Black Gables". It features a master suite, kids' bedrooms, open-plan kitchen, living and dining and includes a guest accommodation, study and double garage.
He said his first visit to experience the location was framed by the steep sloping site that was covered in vegetation with a narrow, undulating pathway leading from the road to the lake edge.
"The journey from the top of the site offers a unique progression with the canopy of trees and vegetation creating a curated visitor experience and with the views of the lake and Mount Tarawera being revealed slowly through the dappled light."
