2025 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
303 Remuera Road
This office building forms a strong addition to the Remuera Road commercial area, terminating the vista and leading one around the bend in the road towards the suburb's centre. The variety in height and openings reflect the adjacent retail grain and scale, mitigating the potential dominance of this major addition. A palette of exposed concrete and terracotta sun screening provides a robust, durable impression arranged in a restrained manner while still providing interest to the public realm. The tall, combined vehicle and office entry, with a café also sharing this space, is an unexpected arrangement that gives a sense of scale and drama to the entrance and the street, elevating it to more than just a car park entry. A major insertion into a significant part of the Auckland environment, this quality development stands strong on its own while also reflecting and enhancing its immediate context in subtle and meaningful ways.
