2023 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Ponsonby Central - II
Conceived as the second stage to the original Ponsonby Central development, this medium-density, mixed-use project is a typology now possible along the ridge line of Ponsonby Road. Effectively a building in the round, the project engages in numerous modes with tenants, patrons and the surrounding context. While significantly larger than its residential neighbours, its impact is carefully tempered by setbacks to upper levels, a permeable ground-level perimeter and a series of articulate formal and material combinations. The project celebrates the street and continues the evolution of the activated laneway and pedestrian-oriented networks now redefining Ponsonby Road as a multi-layered precinct.
