2011 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Newmarket Railway Station
A railway system without good stations won't go far, and Auckland's addressing of this issue has resulted in a high-quality redevelopment. On a technically demanding site, the Architects have skilfully handled the programme to produce an urban room that uplifts the journey for the city's rail users. Their experience of the station is further enhanced by the design's timely integration to a newly formed public square. Visually permeable, generous with linkages, and boldly proclaiming its presence with vivid signage, the project is a key element in the developing public transport infrastructure of Auckland.
