Te Pae

Crosson Architects

Jury citation

Sometimes functional and pragmatic buildings can elicit a business-as-usual architectural response. This is anything but. Much of the materials and labour were gifted by the locals, reflecting a generosity of spirit in a small community. Te Pae, as it catches the light following the path of the sun and becomes a brooding presence at night, now stands as a guardian embodying a true spirit of place.
