New public architecture, salvaged heritage and new housing acknowledged with architecture awards
17 May 2018
The best of old and new architecture has been celebrated at the Nelson / Marlborough Architecture Awards, with 12 projects receiving awards at an event at the Nelson Centre of Musical Arts.
The 2018 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards are part of the peer-reviewed New Zealand Architecture Awards programme run by the New Zealand Institute of Architects and sponsored by Resene.
The awards programme sets the benchmark for the country’s buildings and recognises the contribution of architects to their towns and communities.
Ian Jack, an experienced Nelson architect who convened an awards jury that included Wellington architect Sharon Jansen, Nelson architect Stephanie Philips and Nelson designer Dave Knight, said that while houses designed and built to a very high standard won the majority of awards, the jury was also impressed by very good examples of public, commercial and heritage architecture.
Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Award-winning projects are eligible for consideration in the New Zealand Architecture Awards, which will be announced in November.
