2012 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
The Wellington Fireplace
Working closely with a client focused on building a facility that promotes the sale of fireplaces by creating a series of customised ‘sets’, the architect has created a series of niches, alcoves and themed rooms. A considered use of materials, colours and contemporary museum display strategies has resulted in a relaxed but highly effective retail space with a strong sense of narrative. The arrangement of spaces, with an ‘outdoor’ area with hard surfaces and extensive glazing followed by a carpeted ‘living room’ which opens to a series of display alcoves, creates a modulated sense of space that encourages the customer to linger and browse.
