Location
Gisborne/Hawkes Bay

An existing two-storey concrete hotel block on the campus has been converted to staff offices by way of two strong architectural decisions. A horizontal opening through the length creates connected office bays, and a vertical opening over a central social space provides a light-filled core to a previously dark segmented building. The spatial arrangement which results from a simple solution, the commitment to building reuse and the careful linking of exterior elements to the existing campus is to be strongly commended.
