Rotoroa Shelter Exhibition Centre

Excellently and sensitively sited, the Rotoroa Exhibition Centre is a strong and simple presence on the landscape and thus a sympathetic built expression of Rotoroa Island’s history as a Salvation Army rehabilitation centre. The fall of the roof echoes the pitch of the nearby trees, vertical battens impart depth and shadow to the form and the ramp and large porch provides a generous transition from outside to in. The design of the building reveals not only the architect’s strong understanding of how a building occupies a site, but also a fine appreciation of how people occupy space.
