2013 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Ukaipo - Rangitane Cultural Centre
These pragmatic sheds provide an adaptable range of community amenities that complement the more formal Marae. The palpable determination of the client group to make this Te Ukaipo a nurturing place, is the great achievement of this building. It is evident in the confronting display of the ‘Crown Apology’; the signatures of the current iwi members engraved on the wall; and the reused floorboards from an earlier hall, saved to be proudly trod by future generations. This is a fine example of inclusive architecture.
