2025 Western Architecture Awards Winner

Ngāmotu House

Ngāmotu House stands as a powerful symbol of cultural restoration. Through meticulous exterior refurbishment and the integration of a profound cultural narrative, this former government building reaffirms the whakapapa, local history, and identity of iwi and hapū. Traditional patterns, vibrant colours, and symbolic forms are thoughtfully woven into the architectural detailing, creating a seamless fusion of contemporary functionality and ancestral heritage. Ngāmotu House is a compelling testament to the role of architecture in restoring, redressing, and celebrating the rich cultural legacy of its community
