2016 Hawkes Bay/Gisborne Architecture Awards Winner
Clifton Road Reserve Public Toilets
Robust and practical, but also vibrant and cheerful - this well considered toilet block is happy to be seen in the round. Cleverly sectioned into two simple forms, the building's precast concrete walls anchor the structure and ensure its durability. In contrast, the roof 'floats' above, allowing fresh air and natural light to filter between the third material element, hardwood battens, that provide a sense of natural texture and shadow play. The smooth, bold-red finish expressed against the playful 'WC' inscription is a bold focal point for the surrounding reserve.
