2023 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
The Hayman Kronfeld Building
This tour de force of heritage restoration continues the regeneration of the Britomart precinct on Auckland’s waterfront and reminds us that our limited architectural heritage must be retained and celebrated. The project combines serious consideration of the existing building structure and envelope with a casual and relaxed design attitude, skilfully deployed across numerous spatial and material combinations that delight and surprise. The sustainability aspirations for the project are to be applauded – they speak to a committed client-architect relationship, one based on mutual trust and camaraderie. Engagement with the street has been carefully handled and compliments the external finishing of the two heritage façades, ensuring it will engage with the city for decades to come.
