Hot Box
A simple box for a young couple and their toddler. This two-storey, three-bedroom house exemplifies passive solar design.
Low-tech solutions to efficiency such as deep eaves, northern orientation, and thermal mass, are coupled with a high level of insulation. Slender structural members create a regular rhythm and provide a framework for deciduous vines.
A tricky site with limited access, the rectangular plan wedges into the hillside offering shelter from the prevailing winds, privacy and a view across the valley.
Status: Complete, 2018.
Type: Residential, New Build.
Builders: Karl and Max Wakelin

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.
