2017 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Hutt City Council Administration Building Refurbishment
This refurbishment is at the heart of a wider civic upgrade for the council. The original building has been precisely edited and intelligently upgraded with a new parallel annex – confidently and skilfully added to the existing building – containing a light-filled atrium, building services and vertical circulation. The reinsertion of a welcoming entry and introduction of a generous interior street connecting staff and visitors creates a delightful and civilised public environment. Conservation, structural engineering, building services, finely considered planning and detailing are intelligently integrated to create a building that is a joy to both visit and work in.
