THE ANTIPODES: New Zealand Nature Retreat

Short Description
Set in the extreme isolation of Antipodes Island, New Zealand, this competition invites architects and designers to explore architectural duality by designing a nature retreat in one of the world’s most remote locations.
Participants are challenged to create a sustainable, off-grid structure that harmonizes with the island’s harsh climate, fragile ecosystem, and rich biodiversity – a space for rest, research, or reflection.
