2022 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
HomeGround - Auckland City Mission Te Tāpui Atawhai
HomeGround provides much-needed housing for those most in need, showing how architects can contribute more broadly to this typology. While the program caters for the homeless, the building provides lessons in applying this architectural solution to a multi-unit residential environment. The arrangement of the living units reads as a series of clusters around a common core, breaking down the overall internal mass from a user experience, as well as externally in the urban realm. Wraparound services are provided on the ground floor, where commercial tenancies connect with the public through community spaces. The top floor is dedicated to common areas, decks and gardens to provide joy and outlook to the city.
