2022 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori – The Māori Language Commission
This is a thoughtfully designed, multi-use space where Te Reo revitalisation and ideas can be fully exchanged; a space designed to echo the language – one that can feel at times intimate and engaging and at others, open and vibrant. Beautifully designed and crafted elements include carved door handles that act as a gateway into the space. The bespoke Autex wall tiles can be arranged in any of the Niho Taniwha expressions. Existing furniture has been combined with new bespoke joinery to create a kit of parts that can be arranged to a particular use, from small to large hui, workshops and kōrero. While creativity and flexibility are key, there is a strong sense that everything has been undertaken with a clear rationale.
