3 by 4
Wellington, NZ
2023

Seeking to intensify an underused site in an inner-city borough in Wellington, 3 by 4 is a proposal to remove an existing bungalow and replace it with four modern dwellings.
Occupying a prominent corner site, the four new homes are propped up off street level on a continuous concrete plinth which borders both street boundaries. The plinth provides various points of entry (punch through, alcove, courtyard) and creates a base to place each dwelling on.
Rear yards connected to living spaces orient to the west for afternoon and evening sun as well as outlook towards the town belt.
The narrow, gabled forms of the building recall common typologies in the area - villas, row houses, and other character housing.
