2025 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
St Mary's Old Convent Chapel Restoration
This sensitive restoration of a landmark historic chapel within the grounds of Auckland's St Mary's Convent has faithfully returned a cherished built taonga to its original form. Exquisite leadlight windows, Gothic Revival timber detailing and the chapel's original heritage colour scheme have all been reinstated as part of the extensive restoration works. Honouring the chapel's strong spiritual, social and cultural values and harnessing the talents of skilled artisans and tradespeople, the architects have ensured this historically significant building continues to serve the St Mary's community as a special place of worship, education and gathering.
