2012 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Amesbury School
Presented with a difficult site – a suburban landfill exposed to the weather – and without a formal client representative, the architects have designed a very successful group of structures around a sheltered playground. A sensitive approach has yielded flexible spaces, and an appropriate recourse to extensive glazing has brought welcome natural light into the learning areas. Interior spaces are welcoming, generous and sophisticated, and the design accommodates community use of the gymnasium/hall.
