It has been designed to achieve carbon-neutral certification once completed. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Richard will travel to Singapore in October to make a presentation to the World Architecture Festival jury about the house. The World Architecture Festival winners will be announced soon afterwards. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is RTA Studio's fourth year in a row at the World Architecture Festival. Last year Richard's <a href="http://homenewzealand.blogspot.co.nz/2011/08/on-film-finalist-naish-house-by-richard.html" target="_blank">own home</a> was a finalist. It was preceded by the RTA's AUT lecture theatre and conference centre in 2010, and the Ironbank building on Auckland's Karangahape Road in 2009. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The renderings below of the C3 house show how it will look after construction, a subtle presence in a beautiful landscape.  We'll keep you posted with more details from the festival in October. We'll have more details on this exciting project in our October issue, too. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8r9N8uFzmgG5RluBcKqJJ59sSu3KON9-hIrWbGC3UDctz_6n2jGvb4kRmBzzbq9zp3_0GLdFK6u_hYm7Hrys66oFS1ca_911c03pMxBCKURTSkbJweD81ZuYOp3uFw4UPRx5K86qtCPhC/s1600/2+low+res.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8r9N8uFzmgG5RluBcKqJJ59sSu3KON9-hIrWbGC3UDctz_6n2jGvb4kRmBzzbq9zp3_0GLdFK6u_hYm7Hrys66oFS1ca_911c03pMxBCKURTSkbJweD81ZuYOp3uFw4UPRx5K86qtCPhC/s640/2+low+res.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiDQatsl3DIexteIwjnjYqZLoR5yIdZ0MVnF_d_gWigxaoY5KbhdaBtNE1VJrkGepD4tNrWGjvFENCqJ3eXdrTVXB3jbHvKh6LHUu_WoJUrJcxHhyeVRAZGk6TEKbQWLBzazzyzmYSXaK5/s1600/1+low+res.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiDQatsl3DIexteIwjnjYqZLoR5yIdZ0MVnF_d_gWigxaoY5KbhdaBtNE1VJrkGepD4tNrWGjvFENCqJ3eXdrTVXB3jbHvKh6LHUu_WoJUrJcxHhyeVRAZGk6TEKbQWLBzazzyzmYSXaK5/s640/1+low+res.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbSrQPmZpT7aJZ6VUmDfS_Fqx83QUQhbWdn3zSPVHbAxtjCs3g6U0OCNytpa62baBj0eIbPe6a0m63ld8BImb0R2A48jrGIg6JmouOaduiSkALaTBbp4F4oCj95KIpyP7jfA9A8pdHn852/s1600/3+low+res.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbSrQPmZpT7aJZ6VUmDfS_Fqx83QUQhbWdn3zSPVHbAxtjCs3g6U0OCNytpa62baBj0eIbPe6a0m63ld8BImb0R2A48jrGIg6JmouOaduiSkALaTBbp4F4oCj95KIpyP7jfA9A8pdHn852/s640/3+low+res.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIheBVfcw8TqiXMkP88afUbzT5Pl9valp3xG5oZ5fB1BYeV_-xr8rJEHdnua0MDkiVZJfhOApIi1sN6Snm6VgagVsRduYBLrdWnc2eepUC_FEE2QjglnBNfghO9ZSk_IG7rh4PDmJzjrgh/s1600/4+low+res.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIheBVfcw8TqiXMkP88afUbzT5Pl9valp3xG5oZ5fB1BYeV_-xr8rJEHdnua0MDkiVZJfhOApIi1sN6Snm6VgagVsRduYBLrdWnc2eepUC_FEE2QjglnBNfghO9ZSk_IG7rh4PDmJzjrgh/s640/4+low+res.jpg" width="640" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibVHZjLGd-bXWpXXI9BgKVbdLFHan9tavYMve20eovyhWEfT3IaCsQ50MTQC1UCVHWBz1p9GU8Lzhyphenhypheneg-OZq0sqNwutGH5JiHcILIGhEXI190x75cZ6TXVHpI3l_X4KMdyHPFuv85fJMwN/s1600/5+low+res.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibVHZjLGd-bXWpXXI9BgKVbdLFHan9tavYMve20eovyhWEfT3IaCsQ50MTQC1UCVHWBz1p9GU8Lzhyphenhypheneg-OZq0sqNwutGH5JiHcILIGhEXI190x75cZ6TXVHpI3l_X4KMdyHPFuv85fJMwN/s640/5+low+res.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
