the corinth st house alteration was formed out of the need to generate
a functional and sensitive addition to an existing house, constructed
c. 1963 and designed by the architect vladmir cacala. The existing
house was published in an issue of the architectural review and is
an example of the modernist domestic architecture appearing in new
zealand at the time. this piece of architectural heritage was in fairly
original condition and had retained many of the specific details which
distinguished the house as an exemplarily piece of modernist architecture
of the time.

the design intention was to provide modern living necessities while
disturbing the existing house as little as possible. the new additions
are to the east of the existing house minimally disturbing the existing
concrete block wall, linking the two forms through the line of the
existing houses corridor, and stepping back to retain the overall
proportional integrity of the existing house. the addition, clad in
anthra zinc, cradles a conceptual fragment of the original which functions
as a bedroom.
