2017 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Faraday Street Studio
Exhibiting nice judgement in what to add and what to leave the architects have converted the upper floor of a 1940s warehouse into a studio for their own practice. A loft apartment effect is what the architects set out to achieve and in exposing the building’s original timber frames and trusses and inserting a concrete floor they have realised their ambition. The adept deployment and finessing of industrial materials yields a sense of tough luxury. The allusion to the world of the big city walk-up apartment is signalled at the street entry where the door in is flanked, valet-like, by the sparely furnished premises of a bespoke tailor.
