HOME magazine is delighted to announce that the Home of the Year 2021 finalists have been selected.
We step into a house with a naturally warm interior and designers with impeccable understanding of what it takes to create and monitor the performance of a family home.
Today, the judges explore Southland and Otago, discuss sustainability, designing in remote locations, and New Zealand as a whole.
Today, the judges explore homes that were designed and built by architects and their friends and family – places of soulful moments, spatial experimentation and an overtly playful approach to design.
It’s when we end up right behind a lonesome cow frantically trotting ahead of our van that it dawns on me: we are now judging the Rural Home of the Year category.
This week, we follow the Home of the Year 2021 judges as they embark on an ambitious architectural journey around New Zealand.
