The Bonita Room Alteration in Nelson, New Zealand by Irving Smith ArchitectsAugust 9th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Irving Smith Architects An architect’s house is a thing to play with, a bit like life. Perhaps even more so when its an architecture inherited almost unchanged from Alec Bowman’s original 1960 design for a retired couple, and now in dire need of simple things like a kitchen, spaces to fit a family, and a connection to the garden.

The addition of around 12m2 and internal reconfiguration turns the house from a retiree into a home for a family of 5.

New work carefully playing darker, secondary and supportive.
