2023 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
8 Willis Street
Architecture + has seamlessly woven a new, textured high-rise into Wellington’s urban fabric. Decorative shading screens above street level respect and pay homage to the adjacent heritage façades. Offsetting the tower with variations to the façade treatment individualises each building element, adding richness to the cityscape. The site created a number of three-dimensional challenges, which have been expertly and elegantly resolved. The targeted 6-star Greenstar, 5-star NabersNZ and super-structure reuse is exceptional and shows what can be achieved by a committed building owner and talented project team.
