Chappel Towhouses
By Bonnifait + Associates Architects
NZIA AWARDS JURY CITATION:
Despite the difficulties of working in a heritage area with complex planning rules, this project has managed to create both a new townhouse and reconstruct an exisiting working mans cottage. It has produced two new dwellings. Both houses have been carefully set-out to fit a small section in a very dense urban environment. Clever planning has created a series of private indoor and outdoor spaces which receive ample sunlight and shelter from which to appreciate the views across Wellington City. This is no mean feat and testimony to the commitment of both client and architect to meet one of the challenges facing our generation and create quality infill housing.
