Architect Tim Nees of New Work Studio has just completed his own new home, at Taylor’s Mistake in Christchurch. The architect said he painted it white because he "didn't want another black house".
Christchurch architect Tim Nees has just completed his own house on the hill at Taylor’s Mistake – a small seaside community known for its quaint weatherboard baches and cave homes.
But there’s no mistaking the new Nees house – it’s the bright white, modern building that sits lightly on the ground among the trees and bushes. The vertical board cladding references the old baches, but it’s the architect’s reason for the colour that’s especially interesting.
