2025 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Sacred Heart College - Mission House
Mission House is an inspiring example of how sustainability and innovation can thrive within constraint. Working within the realities of a modest budget, the architects have delivered a high-performing, low-impact building that places student wellbeing at its heart. Every decision — from the use of mass timber construction to thermal modelling, natural ventilation, and carefully selected materials — reflects a commitment to performance without compromise. At its centre, an elevated library acts as a pātaka of knowledge — a serene, light-filled space that brings calm, connection, and a sense of ceremony to the school day. Mission House proves that thoughtful architecture can be both pragmatic and poetic.
