2023 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
A Diaphanous Design
The refurbishment of this modest central-city apartment exposes building structure and reveals much of the buildings original character. The exposed slab and beams, now forming the ceiling, increase the internal volume and in combination with western light, suggest an apartment much larger than it is. The light is further utilised with dual layers of operable glazed shoji-type panels that project light deeper into the floor plate to the internal rooms. Steel beams, cabinetry and exposed conduit are integrated into the space, resulting in a comfortable, elegant and sophisticated industrial aesthetic.
