2024 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Gonville Pool House
A different take on the adaptive reuse of a public building, a new whare is integrated into the well-loved and architecturally cheerful Gonville Pool. This approach maintains the original characterful street presence, while providing a well-planned, considerately sited new house that artfully uses the defunct pool to bring a productive garden into the centre of the programme. An artist’s residency retrofit into the changing rooms adds to the local community’s artistic stripe. The former public pool’s infrastructure is visibly integrated into the landscaping of this fun and lively project.
