2013 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Aranui Library
This library reflects its community and its ethnicity, invites that community’s involvement and celebrates its identity. The building, with its clearly articulated spatial arrangement, expresses a strong form concept. A sense of openness within the body of the library communicates a sense of approachability, particularly to younger community members. Appropriately chosen robust materials are detailed to maximise the building’s durability with minimum maintenance. The Architects have provided a working environment that has exceeded client and staff expectations.
