2013 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
St Cuthbert's College Performing Arts Centre
This building of strong presence and calm disposition provides excellent teaching and performing spaces and also plays an important place-making role on St Cuthbert’s suburban campus. In designing a materially expressive but not overly dramatic building, the architects have resisted any urge to exhibitionism; they have recognised that the Performing Arts Centre exists to support the performance skills of the school’s students. As well as clearly focussing on this goal, the architects have, through the careful massing and siting of the building, realised the school’s intention to conduct a well-mannered relationship with its residential neighbours.
