2023 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Real Workspace
The modern interpretation of the rural shed houses a functional and pleasant workspace for multiple businesses. The dark weatherboard exterior is crisply detailed with steel eyebrows surrounding the recurring window/skylight combination. The interior is light and airy, creating a friendly and inviting workplace. Utilities are attached to the entry side in lean-to forms, ensuring the main space is clean and open to the pitch throughout. The architect has used Structurally Insulated Panels, European joinery and low-energy mechanical components to create a well-detailed energy-efficient building. Material selections further emphasise sustainable choices through local sourcing.
