2020 Western Architecture Awards Winner
Dawson & King
The reuse of key structural elements was the basis of this New Plymouth project in which the architects have successfully dealt with both a corner site, and the need to bookend a commercial precinct, to create a unique and engaging building. Although the building is large, the use of the humble brick provides a sense of human scale, as does the sectioning of the façades into panels with glazed breaks which also activates the building at street level. The bold exposure of services and structure provides a great backdrop that has allowed the building’s occupants to develop and enhance their own workspaces.
