2024 Western Architecture Awards Winner
Ngā Awa Block
Elegantly poised on multiple edges of paddock, field and tennis courts, this carefully composed building provides shelter and varied vantage points to the adjacent sporting activities. A generous verandah wraps the building edge, providing shelter, circulation and fleeting interaction between teams, whatever the outcome of the match. Robust exterior detailing sits comfortably with the joyous riot of structural colour of colonnade posts and beams. The kids can throw a ball around without limit. A considered understanding of the building's performance and energy use, as well as robust interior finishes and the best referees viewing platform in the land, contribute to a building that can make this community proud.
