2025 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Washworld
The Washworld HQ successfully utilises a small, triangular piece of land, fitting a functional two-storey building into the southernmost corner of a busy 24/7 carwash site. With a 40m² footprint, the lower level accommodates storage and staff amenities, while the upper level provides a north-west facing office. The design makes use of durable, robust materials, including precast concrete and steel to withstand the demands of the environment. The subtle use of cedar on the upper level softens the otherwise utilitarian building, ensuring it performs well in both function and longevity.
