2015 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
The Pavilions
Built to be temporary, this cluster of buildings, gripped by a soaring, lightweight, triple-gabled roof, with the steep gable of Ortolana restaurant rising at its centre, does not lack for charm despite its short-term destiny. Skilled laneway and courtyard insertions continue the urban language and gritty fabric of this historic merchant precinct, and the exuberant landscaping softens the aspect to charming effect. Aucklanders have come to love spending time in this gentle quarter. They will miss it when it has gone.
