AOTEAROA ‘BEST NEW HOUSE 2025’
HERE Magazine
UPOKO Architects and the BB House has won HERE Magazine’s ‘AOTEAROA’S BEST NEW HOUSE 2025’
‘A house precisely fitted around the client, with a rare architectural clarity. The small footprint is cleverly quartered, while an outdoor deck is shrouded by operable screens, making the house light, secure and defensible in one simple gesture. High roof forms make the space feel generous and effortless, while moody materials and colour create a home rich in experience.’
