2012 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
BRANZ Redevelopment
The revitalisation of the existing building through the change in roof form and construction has opened up the deep floor plan to natural light, giving the original 1970s structure further architectural significance while increasing the building’s lifespan. Architectural expression and detail is given to the elements such as the thermal chimney in the heart of the building, and the beautifully articulated louvres on the west elevation. These gestures not only reflect the client’s goals to be a leader in environmentally sustainable design, but also create a poetic spatial experience for users of the building.
