2025 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Ngā Mokopuna
This is not merely a building; it is a profound statement of commitment to the future, a tangible embodiment of cultural values, and an inspiring benchmark for sustainable design in Aotearoa and beyond. Ngā Mokopuna triumphantly realizes the aspiration of Living Building Certification, embodying the core principles of kaitiakitanga and manaakitanga articulated in its project brief. It is a testament to meticulous consideration, deeply engaging with the spatial context of the adjacent Te Herenga Waka marae and weaving together narratives with unwavering sustainable intent. Through the masterful manipulation of light and the thoughtful integration of ecological principles, this project transcends conventional construction. It emerges as a beacon – a living entity designed to nurture and uplift mokopuna for generations to come.
