The Pavilion is a multipurpose facility serving Nelson Cricket, Nelson Athletics, and Nelson Football Clubs. It is the second high-profile project that we have undertaken at the Saxton Oval Cricket ground for the Nelson City Council. SRA Architects won the tender to provide masterplan lite and lead design services for Waimea College in the Tasman Region. Planned to embrace the sun and social street frontage, this family home opens to the north – blurring the interface between spaces and providing a flexible year-round living. This new house is on a beautiful site looking out over Tasman Bay on the outskirts of Nelson. Arthouse Architects creates award-winning architectural solutions throughout New Zealand, with a focus on sustainability and collaboration. Designed for a builder client and his family, this rural house draws from the rural vernacular. Sitting powerfully on the site, the mass of this large house is managed and celebrated in an organized and purposeful linear manner, gable forms are clearly read and stitched together with a strong flat roof plane. Designed for a growing family on the site of an old vineyard, the clients wanted a house that took in the views over the vines to the hills beyond and provided a warm, modern solution for their family.
