2025 Western Architecture Awards Winner
Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery
Standing atop Pukenamu Queen’s Park for over a century, the Sarjeant Gallery (Te Whare o Rehua Whanganui) is a revered Whanganui landmark. Extensive restoration has strengthened its structure, with discreetly integrated shear walls preserve the building’s original form. Naturally lit galleries now feature advanced glazing technology, enhancing environmental performance. Nestled beside its bold new extension, the restored Sarjeant Gallery remains a lasting taonga celebrating art, architecture, and learning for generations to come.
