2012 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Carterton Events Centre
The architectural planning is refined, clear and simple in its resolution of a complex brief: to incorporate three buildings into one Events Centre and meet the requirements of 80 different user groups. The central open courtyard is key; not only does it provide natural light and ventilation, it serves as the buildings’ orientating principle. The original heritage library, with its handsome façade respectfully acknowledged as the principal frontage to the street, retains its important position in the town. An ever-growing patronage is testament to the popularity and importance of this facility to Carterton and the wider Wairarapa region.
