2018 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner

119 Great North Road

The ‘cathedral of cars’: With a single-minded focus, disciplined treatment of materials, and close attention to detail, this building realises its commercial purpose to covetous effect: the building is to car showrooms what Cartier is to jewellery stores. The strong geometry and rigorous assembly of the building’s structure is a flattering frame to the sleek and sinuous forms of prestige automobiles. The same exacting standards are evident in back-of-house areas, where the theatre of maintenance and servicing is performed in spaces respectful not only of the cars but also of those who work on them.
