2024 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Puna Kaukau o Te Oko Horoi - Perry Aquatic Centre
A significant project for Cambridge, and more than 15 years in the making, this aquatic complex seamlessly integrates with the existing 50-metre pool and grounds, enveloping the southern edge of the site and offering connectivity through expansive windows in the main pool hall. The angular form, characterised by clean lines and three distinct volumes, mitigates visual bulk at the street, and blends harmoniously with the surrounding residential context. Internally, the pool hall is bathed in natural light from west and east-facing floor-to-ceiling glazing with pops of colour, reflective of Waipa, to enhance the user experience.
