Pohuehue House by Felicity Brenchley Architects. Residential Finalist 2024

Tania Bailey: Of all the finalists and winners of the Interior Awards over the last few years, Pohuehue House by Felicity Brenchley Architects resonates with me. The 2024 finalist captures me with personalised details tailored to bring the owner’s visions to life. I also love the way the design conveys sensitivity through the colours and materials, creating a balanced space. The mid-century nod adds a timeless charm through craft, making it a truly unique and beautiful project. 

Crinkle Cut House Pac Studio. Residential Kitchen Finalist 2022

Kate Ward: I love Crinkle Cut House, a finalist in the Kitchen category designed by Pac Studio in 2022. I love the bright white and natural light of the home, the rafters and Pohutukawa trees. The kitchen details are gorgeous – the travertine benchtop and splashback are beautiful. The project feels original and thoughtfully designed, making it one of my favourites.
