The Details
Multi-award winning architects Lance and Nicola Herbst moved here from South Africa 16 years ago and rapidly built a name and practice around their thoughtful, beautifully crafted timber buildings. In doing so, they redefined what a New Zealand building might be. Both ephemeral and solid, their houses engage with landscape and weather in a way that seems obvious but is quite radical.

Herbst Architects are also three-time winners of our Home of the Year award, for three very different houses: a glassy dwelling in the trees at Piha, West Auckland; a robust, rusty retreat on a farm in Coromandel; and this year, an elegant, elevated home on a sun-challenged site, also at Piha.

In the Coromandel, a home with a humble profile and a thoughtful design makes the most of a stunning location.

Built with awe-inspiring attention to detail, this Arrowtown home is a fresh interpretation of a familiar Otago rural vernacular.

This sculptural Northland bach is a perfect north arrow on a remote farm high above the sea.

With the sun on its bow and the community at its stern, this is a house in which the elements are always front of mind.
