The Hayman Kronfeld Building
The Hayman Kronfeld Building, located in Auckland's Britomart Precinct, is an innovative example of adaptive reuse, merging two Grade A heritage-listed buildings into one modern, compliant office space. The project skilfully negotiates structural challenges, like floor height disparities, through the inventive use of a lift core and also showcases skilful fire risk and acoustics management. Alongside modern elements, the project incorporates significant heritage restoration components, including the thoughtful use of salvaged bricks and period-appropriate materials. The building interior is enhanced through thoughtful internal and external lighting strategies and sets a strong precedent for urban design, extending its impact well beyond its footprint.
