Joll Road Laneways - Stage 2

Practice
RTA Studio

Category
Commercial Architecture

Location
Gisborne/Hawkes Bay

Stage two of a multi-stage mixed-use project, this building develops the scale and vocabulary established by its neighbour. A combination of simple forms, robust materials and well-articulated floor plates and elevations (including the roof) is employed effectively to introduce medium density into a predominantly single-storey village townscape. Ground-floor laneways create new connectivity and extend existing pedestrian shortcuts through the site, facilitating a sense of community and connection that is reflected in the collaborative vibe between the tenancies.
