2020 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner

Bowen State Building

This significant upgrade of the Bowen State Building rejuvenates and extends a significant Modernist building. The architects have respected the muscular form of the original building, and bronze façade detailing gives a nod to the adjacent Beehive. Sculptural fins break down the scale of the lengthy façade, and the expanded floorplate redefines the building’s street entry, which is marked by a sleek new shard in the façade. This is a fine example of sustainability in action, through the rehabilitation of a legacy Brutalist building into a modern government workplace.
