2025 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Te Āhuru Mōwai
An elegantly restrained project in Feilding that reorganises an existing library facility by inserting a new axial arrangement that connects to the wider context of community and civic spaces and provides an internal organisation device to connect new rooms and spaces with existing ones. This axis allows for multiple uses of the spaces both during the day and after hours. The exterior interface with the street network is updated to provide points of access to the north and south and privacy to the spaces as well as incorporate Māori motifs developed in conjunction with local iwi. A successful project that updates and reinvigorates an existing facility to provide continued use for the community.
