2024 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
The Fork and Tap
It’s difficult to update a much-loved heritage classic, even more so in a hospitality setting when the doors are required to stay open. However, despite other complications including Covid restrictions, this Arrowtown pub closed for only one day when the bar was moved; the local clientele in support of the restoration efforts. The result is two small hip-roofed forms topped with lantern-shaped chimneys, a simple but sophisticated update of all the building’s classic components, a quality outdoor space and much-needed new bathroom facilities. This bar is now set for the next 100 years.
