The third finalist for Home of the Year 2018 is a small courtyard home in Wellington

From a contemporary home in Auckland to a clifftop retreat on Waiheke Island, the finalists for Home of the Year 2018 have already showcased exactly what’s inspiring about New Zealand architecture. The third finalist in Home of the Year 2018 is a wonderful response to a rear infill site in Miramar, Wellington. Watch to discover who the architect is and hear HOME editor Simon Farrell-Green discuss what he, and judges Mel Bright  and Nicholas Stevens, liked about this home.
