2016 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Fortieth & Hurstmere
This work is more than simply a renovation of an existing building or a solution to a commercial design brief - it represents the evolution of an exciting urban typology for Auckland. This laneway is an intimate and intriguing set piece, a sophisticated and cohesive deployment of layers, textures and components. Upon this stage, a beguiling hospitality and retail experience has been deployed, with food and beverage venues providing a seamless bridge between new and old. On Hurstmere Road, the lyrical use of unexpected design motifs is frivolous and fun - and projects a confidence that defies its surroundings.
