A tiny 30m² cabin in nestled among totara trees on a large rural property near Waipu in Northland – the perfect low-key holiday destination for a busy urban family.
Two insulated macrocarpa-clad boxes sit beneath a classic Kiwi corrugated iron roof, creating a semi-sheltered space in between that encourages outdoor living.
Four large salvaged cedar doors were part of the inspiration for the design.
Pine decking extends the floorspace by about 2m around the front areas.
The owner, Simon Wilson, with his son building a fire in the fireplace he built himself.
The kitchen cabinetry is an off-the-shelf tool bench with a sink cut out of the top.
Macrocarpa is a locally sourced timber that creates a warm and textural cladding.
The gap between the boxes and the roof creates a light saber effect on the wall.
The owners's son enjoying some reading on the bespoke sofa, which features an adjacent fireplace and wood storage.

About the
Professional

Patchwork Architecture is Ben Mitchell-Anyon & Sally Ogle.

Between us we have a wide range of experience, on jobs large and small, residential and commercial.

We started working together in late 2011, when along with Tim Gittos (now of Spacecraft Architects) we left our jobs in Wellington, moved to Whanganui, and launched into building the DogBox. We wanted to further our theoretical and drawn understanding of architecture through knowledge of the physical craft of building.

A year later, the DogBox was complete, and had picked up a couple of accolades along the way - including being selected as one of six finalists in HOME magazine 'Home of the Year 2013'.

Following that we set up our studio in Wellington, taking practical knowledge back to the drawing board, to help our clients create beautiful, efficient, warm, economical spaces that suit their purpose and location.
