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. Photographs by Russell Kleyn

“Copeland House "We have been living in our new house for a year now and want to say we are extremely happy with it. After living in it through the four seasons it fulfills all our requirements all year round. The space works brilliantly for us and we really appreciate the louvred windows. Having been house bound for the last month, we have appreciated it even more! Many thanks again.”
