2024 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
New Bricks on the Block
This delightful intervention on a tight city plot brings Ponsonby Road character around the corner to activate the side street. The assemblage of forms relates to the scale and proportion of the adjacent heritage building and gains additional volume by stepping back and cantilevering over the carpark entry. The negative space on top is cleverly regained by the addition of a glazed box. Brick screening adds pattern to the streetscape while filtering light within. Care and attention to detail bring value and charm to the neighbourhood.
