2021 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Tuitui
A clear focus on a single element - a crescent-shaped main dining counter - is a breathtaking decision, and is immaculately executed at the new hospitality space in Auckland War Memorial Museum. A limited materials palette accentuates the dramatic green marble top, which is augmented by brass edging. In a clever, highly skilled move, carefully cut mosaics from the same green marble are used to add textural depth to the unit. This is a thoughtful, moody interior, with a warmth and intimacy that fits seamlessly into the existing museum building.
