2017 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner

Mason Bros.

This complex project entailed the reconciliation of several design imperatives: preserving and seismically strengthening a large character warehouse; converting the building to house several levels of fluid workspaces and different tenancies while clearly expressing the heritage structure; and acknowledging the precinct masterplan and anticipating development in the environs of the building. The insertion of a long, suspended, reflective box of workspaces allowing for the preservation and revelation of the historic ‘container’, the passage of a generous laneway along the length of the building, and the admission of natural light through the retained sawtooth roof combine to produce a spacious, user-friendly and highly textural environment.
