2023 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
The Great Glenorchy Alpine Basecamp
Architecture that sits on the doorstep of a UNESCO World Heritage Site has to deliver an appropriate response to context. Fourteen simple, gable-roofed sleeping huts and adjacent communal spaces are built from mainly locally sourced materials and have a low embodied and operational energy footprint. Inspired clients, together with the architects, interior architects and builders, have created a true fit not only to place, but offer the best pre- and post- experiences for visitors engaging with this powerful landscape.
