McCahon Artists Residence

67, Otitori Bay Road, Titirangi, Auckland, New Zealand

Type
YEAR
2006
Colin McCahon was one of New Zealands premier 20th century
painters. This artist's residency is located on the site adjacent to the
cottage in which the McCahon family lived with his family and painted during a
seminal period of his career in the 1950's. It accommodates national and
international recipients of scholarships and operates in conjunction with a
museum in the original cottage. The new building is designed in two parts, one
containing the studio and the other the residence. Its complex form is
carefully designed to sit between the many trees (mainly kauri) on the site,
which are especially significant given the role they played in the paintings
McCahon produced in his shift towards abstraction.

 
The residence nestles against the land, while the studio
towers amongst the trees on light steel framing. The structure is carefully
designed to minimise interference to trees and site.
