2025 Hawkes Bay/Gisborne Architecture Awards Winner
Foodeast – Haumako
Foodeast delivers a welcoming and immersive interior experience, where the entry unfolds like a warm embrace. A strong narrative pattern flows seamlessly across scales, from the intricate entry shroud to the bold, expressive lighting. The vibrant colour palette extends from the exterior, creating a playful and dynamic collaboration space. Clever use of readily available local materials enhances the design’s authenticity, while shifts in texture and colour bring life to the interior. Tenant areas contrast with a more restrained, utilitarian approach, emphasising functionality. Thoughtfully detailed and carefully executed, the space feels inspiring and creative — a social hub for foodies that fosters collaboration and connection.
