Pivot House

Blenheim, New Zealand

Light filled and synonymous with the carefully curated surrounding gardens, this ‘broken up’ pavilion style home pivots around a number of landscaped courtyards- each with its own use and purpose catering as multi-functional ‘outdoor’ rooms perfectly suited to the balmy Blenheim climate. The solid ‘arms’ of blockwork stretching over the site define the outdoor zones on the ground floor and is contrasted with the skeletal ‘white box’ of the upper floor which seems to disappear above with its floating and translucent effect.
