This project was recognised in the Small Project Architecture category of the 2013 Wellington Architecture Awards, a programme run by the New Zealand Institute of Architects. This was the icing on the cake for the Box™ team. The jury commented that the award-winning 115-square-metre house, built on a steep site in a suburb of Lower Hutt, “provides evidence that cost effectiveness need not be predicated on the mundane.”
As Heyworth (Director | New Projects) points out, “It’s not often that you get design-and-build companies lauded for their architecture!” Truly one (or two or three) out of the box."
