2024 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Pā Reo Campus
A living building, Pā Reo speaks beautifully of collaboration between client and architect. The whare live and breathe Māoritanga – hīkoia te kōrero (walk the talk). With no need for applied cultural narrative, Pā Reo expresses kaitiakitanga in an elegant, functional, quiet way. Crisply put together, the technical skill and exhaustive research bring the vision of a committed client group to an outcome that can be a kāpehu whetū (star compass) for us all as we wrestle to bring architecture and building into line with respect for Papatūānuku. It is heartening to experience a warm, comfortable, open building that feels good to be in and restores ecological wellness to its immediate environment.
