2011 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Taranaki Wharf West
Building successfully on and relating well to its precedents, this project is the last piece in the jigsaw of Wellington waterfront's public domain. The Architect has elegantly resolved the puzzle resulting from the complex intersection of geometries comprising the waterfront itself, neighbouring buildings and the bend in the adjacent major road, and provided clear paths of movement through the space. A continuity of materials and components has been carefully observed so that open space is accentuated but does not detract from the waterfront's most compelling element, Wellington's wonderful harbour.
