2023 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner

Te Taumata o Kupe Nuku

This project is heroic in ambition, reach and execution. It is a remarkable result following decades of work and commitment from numerous people and speaks to the determination and perseverance of the Te Mahurehure community. As part of the wider marae complex, Taumata o Kupe embodies the spirit of Kupe and represents his journey to Aotearoa. The unique external form frames stories and histories embedded in the glass window wall, which in turn projects shadows deep into the building interior where a collection of dynamic spaces and volumes provide for a variety of uses and functions. This exceptional project establishes a new home and a new way of informing and defining the future for the people of Te Mahurehure Marae and the wider community of Tāmaki Makaurau.
