2015 Hawkes Bay/Gisborne Architecture Awards Winner
FG Smith
The F. G. Smith Building successfully redefines a derelict former transport hub as a social centre within the historic Ahuriri port quarter of Napier providing an impact beyond its own footprint. Structural features of the industrial shed are redefined as design elements celebrating contemporary food and fashion with an industrial aesthetic. Openings to a courtyard and kitchen garden successfully provide exterior dining space, light and a permeable boundary with neighbouring sites and the streetscape.
