2024 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Hamilton Gardens, Ancient Egyptian Garden
The Ancient Egyptian Garden complex is one of more than 20 themed gardens at this public destination. This garden represents one of the earliest decorative traditions and is a faithful reproduction of a 2000 BC Egyptian domestic productive setting. Shapes, material finishes, murals and hieroglyphics have all been reproduced based on historical evidence and created in consultation with an Egyptologist. There is a consistently high level of design, finish and historical accuracy on show – an asset that will delight visitors.
