2023 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Domain Wintergardens (1928)
An iconic destination in Pukekawa, the Auckland Domain’s Wintergardens have been a central attraction for visitors and residents for more than 100 years. The Temperate House to the north-east, designed by William Gummer, was built to commemorate the Auckland Industrial Agricultural and Mining Exhibition of 1913-1914, and opened on 1st December 1913. The Tropical House, designed by the expanded practice of Gummer & Ford, was added in 1928, along with the central courtyard areas. More recently, structural strengthening and a faithful restoration of the two buildings has ensured this important part of the city's architectural heritage will endure for many decades to come.
