Pac Studio on Lunchbox Architect
Pac Studio, formerly known on Lunchbox as Glamuzina Paterson Architects, is an Auckland practice working in architecture, interior design and special projects. It aims to create "evocative, bespoke architecture tailored to people and place", designing "resilient, sustainable and beautiful buildings" with a human-centred approach, whether the site is urban, rural or coastal.
On Lunchbox, Blackpool House on Waiheke Island is a black tower set among native trees on a steep site. S House in Auckland acts as a garden wall dividing a long, thin lot into two gardens, and Lake Hawea Courtyard House bunkers down against a rugged landscape. Brick Bay House is an L-shaped "elegant shed" for a family of five, and Crinkle Cut, with Steven Lloyd Architecture, uses its facade to balance privacy and light.
See Blackpool House, Crinkle Cut and more of their work on Lunchbox below.

S_House is a Home Between Two Gardens, But Not in the Traditional Way
S_House divides a long thin lot into two gardens. Unlike a conventional home, S_House embraces both front and rear gardens.
Lake Hawea Courtyard House Bunkers Against a Stunningly Rugged Landscape

Batten and Board Beach Home is Designed Like an 'Elegant Shed'

The facade of this coastal home lets you balance privacy and light
Louvres, clerestory windows, and a unique floor plan help this coastal retreat perfectly connect with its natural environment.
