2017 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
SGA Studio and Workshop
In a very real sense, this studio and workshop is a built manifesto for the architecture practice that designed the building for its own use. A deep understanding of how buildings are put together, materials deployed, and problems solved are all evident in this project, along with typical inventiveness, commitment to sustainable principles, experiment with prefabrication, mastery of a restrained palette, and bespoke control of the interior fit-out. More than that, the building is clearly designed to recognise and nurture the particular culture of the practice: this firm operates as a family. The studio, with its warm timber cladding and abundant natural light and fresh air, is a wonderful working environment, and the workshops are capacious and, of course, well-organised.
