Drawing on the experimentation and quirk of the mid-century Fire Island baches, this house is split into two steeply pitched volumes with a mezzanine, exposed rafters and skylights. The tent like form is made with SIP (Structural Insulated Panels) forming a continuous shell that is quick to assemble and highly insulated.

Glamuzina Architects is an Auckland based practice established in 2014. We strive to produce architecture that is crafted, contextual and clever. Rather than seeking a particular outcome we value a design process that is collaborative, critical and rigorous.
When designing we look to the context of a project beyond just its immediate physical location to the social, political, historical and economic conditions of place. This results in architecture that is uniquely tailored to the context it sits within.
We work on many different types of projects across a range of scales; from small interiors to large public buildings. Regardless of a project's budget we always prefer to work smart, using a creative mix of materials, light and volume in preference to elaborate finishes or complex detailing.
Our designs have been recognised for their excellence and innovation, winning many national and local awards including two New Zealand Architecture Awards in 2013 for S House and Lake Hawea Courtyard House.
