Local architect awarded for artist's studio

Days Bay architect Liz Wallace, of Tse:Wallace Architects, was one of 28 Wellington region winners recognised for new architectural projects in a ceremony at the Embassy Theatre recently. In the Small Project Architecture category of the New Zealand Institute of Architects’ NZIA Architecture Awards 2021, her Colley Studio was one of two projects honoured.

The citation describes the project (pictured right) as “an elegantly layered composition of timber forms which belies the technical difficulties posed by this small and challenging site. Solved with an inventive cantilevering steel structure, this small addition to a 1960s Lowry Bay home appears to hover. Superbly crafted in every respect, this artist’s studio, with a deck above, is the product of a high level of precise detailing. This delicate and thoughtful response is calming and uplifting, and provides a flexible and useful space that enriches daily life.”
