2024 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
The Pā
In solving a complex brief to address a dispersed campus layout, The Pā's project team has brought four large facilities together under one roof and created a new circulation spine to bring order to the campus. The guiding principles of manākitanga and inclusiveness are central to the project’s design ethos, and this is demonstrated in the warmth and generosity of its many gathering spaces. As a backdrop, a heroic structural system of glulam beams pushes the boundaries of this technology to give the project its awesome tectonic strength.
