By Arête Architects
Wellington’s landscape is never short of challenges. How we deal with them defines our built environment. The cascading Hill House directly addresses the surrounding context, maximising on views, sunlight, air-flow and terrain resulting in what will be a stand-out home within Island Bay’s latest housing development.
The close working relationship between client and architect has been incredibly rewarding. The result is a design that is developing into an environmentally conscious home all will cherish for years to come. With significant engineering challenges the design looks to celebrate the structural and architectural solutions equally receding and projecting from the steep site.
Arête Architects believe in blending the planes of architecture and environment; merging the two to achieve architectural excellence.
Arête Architects will embrace your chosen environment and uncover the potential within it. Be it natural or built; micro or macro, interior or exterior, we promise to provide an architectural solution that will exist harmoniously within its context.
Based in Wellington, New Zealand, Arête Architects have a global outlook, seeking solutions, information and technologies internationally in an effort to achieve balance between the built and non-built environments we inhabit.
We love working closely with all stakeholders, through all stages of a project, to ensure that, as a team, we achieve something truly unique, responsive and responsible.
