2024 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
Te Puna o Whakaehu
Mosgiel has been blessed by the offspring of an ancient taniwha, with six new swimming pools clustered under a low-slung roof. Set within a silver box spilling into a larger black box, all the details here are just right for a community pool. There is clear interaction with the street, great slot views to the surrounding countryside while swimming, and a masterful series of chunky taniwha teeth cast across the rear wall. This development is a hit – and makes a big splash – with the local community.
