2023 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Symonds Street Public Conveniences & Shelter
For more than 100 years, this small but iconic Auckland landmark has provided a public convenience. In more recent times, it has been used for a range of less-than-desirable activities – all the while withstanding the constant abuse of graffiti, vandalism and fires. As a scheduled Category B heritage place, the building was deserving of this faithful restoration to its former glory. Along with seismic upgrades, the work uncovered and restored much of the original interior finishing and materiality and will hopefully instil newfound respect and care from those who use the facilities.
