2023 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
8 Willis Street
The heritage building accommodating Stewart Dawsons retail store is a prominent and much-loved Wellington landmark. Architecture + and heritage architect Ian Bowman have breathed new life into this Historic Places Trust category-II listed building. New building elements have been respectfully integrated with the old. Care and attention to detail, intensive research, preservation and re-creation of the heritage façade and roof features restore this special building to its former glory. It has never looked better and is once again casting its ageless charm on passers-by and continuing its role as a cherished capital-city icon.
