2024 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Hills Residences
This project addresses several important issues facing contemporary architects. The most pressing is sustainability and the most efficient building is the one we don’t build, so this adaptive re-use of a redundant commercial building is a great urban model. Further elevating the project is the way domestic habitation is understood. A confident and sophisticated approach delivers quality dwellings capable of accommodating a diversity of users in comfortable, livable settings. Hills Residences forms part of a wider project by Edwards White and their client in celebrating and amplifying Kirikiriroa Hamilton’s qualities through addressing the river, densifying the neighbourhoods and stitching together the city's parts on and off the site.
