2024 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Hills Residences
Working with the existing building structure was a difficult proposition but the architect and client have achieved a landmark result for Hamilton East. Transitioning from a laboratory to residential apartments with capacity for future commercial spaces, this project exemplifies a thoughtful approach to adaptive reuse. The existing structure has been expressed internally, with concrete columns stripped back to reveal the history and original patina. The new apartments are warm, inviting and reflect a high-quality residential aesthetic with timber cabinetry and stone benchtops. A quality reuse of a building that has revitalised a corner of Hamilton East.
