2021 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
GW Cuba Workplace Fit-out
Using the metaphor of a forest canopy, tree trunk and forest floor, and including the re-use of heritage elements, the architects have created a workplace that is richly layered in texture, materials and colour. Connections between the strong urban edge of Cuba Street and the interior workspaces are articulated by floor and wall finish selections that transition from hard to soft materials, while patterns in the floor reinforce circulation routes. Lighting is successfully considered, from ensuring natural light penetrates through heritage windows and skylights, to the use of locally made pendants that add a delicate touch to the ceiling. There is no doubt this interior uplifts the human spirit.
