By Chris Tate
Situated in picturess Bellingen N.S.W (Australia) this house has been designed to have minimal effect on the environment whilst remaining dramatic and bold within its environment. The house will be constructed from earth bricks sourced from the site.
Chris Tate creates an experience in his buildings. The priority on site is discovering and maximising a building’s potential for beauty. Without a stunning site, there will be no building. He assumes an unconventional approach to architecture where function follows form, prompting adaptation for occupants.
In 2006 he created Chris Tate Architecture and completed his first project, Forest House, a glass box in Titirangi. He has since created buildings throughout New Zealand exciting emotion in viewers and occupants. Stealth, black buildings and pure white interiors, he contrasts the soft with the formidable.
