This building serves a commercial and wider civic purpose as it imparts some identity to a part of the city that has been overlooked. The building connects to the Taruheru River and animates the immediate streetscape with its strong gable form, glazed façade and large doors that open onto the footpath. Innovative structural strengthening has been integrated cleverly with the original building in a manner that preserves a sense of the building’s history and contrasting yet complementary external cladding materials distinguish the building’s two separate tenancies.
