2009 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Trafalgar Centre - Southern Extension
Nelson’s aged events centre has been redefined by a simple idea carried out with confidence and attention to detail. The ‘bookend’, clad in green zinc and cedar, is already a sculptural icon, coming alive at night with careful external lighting. Beautifully detailed external materials blur the edges where wall meet sky. The interior is much enhanced with upgraded heating, lighting, acoustics, passive ventilation and facilities.
