This holiday house adopts the notion of the typical New Zealand camping ground. The kitchen, dining and living room spaces become a communal area, located at the centre of the property. The private bedroom wings - each with their own bathroom - are accessed externally, with no internal connection to the communal area. This offers the owners a contrasting experience to their inner-city townhouse.

About the
Professional

TSArchitects Ltd is the Ōtautahi/Christchurch based architectural practice of multi-award winning Architect Tobin Smith.

Tobin has formed a strong reputation in the architectural industry for his progressive designs, particularly in the residential housing and multi-housing sector. A unique blend of creativity and pragmatism has resulted in an impressive portfolio of built work spanning multiple locations throughout New Zealand and in a broad range of size and budget. Each project is specifically informed by its site, context and client’s wishes, but each carries an overarching desire to be meaningful and unashamedly ‘kiwi’.

Having found previous success as a founding director of CoLab Architecture Ltd and COMMON Ltd, TSArchitects Ltd signifies and celebrates 20 years of practice for Tobin and his team.

“Uninhabited by tradition, inspired by the past and resolutely optimistic about the future, we enjoy nothing more than making great buildings for great people”.
