2022 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Te Rau Karamu Marae
A beautifully resolved interior embodies cultural significance, provides a place for education, storytelling, and a framework to engage with the wider community. There is a seamlessness in the relationship between interior and exterior architecture, developed simultaneously by working in close conjunction with the client and their brief. Light and shade are used in subtle ways to enhance the experience and storytelling of the space, while artworks further strengthen that experience. This project delivers a quality cultural space that surpasses the expected outcome for this building type and site.
