2016 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Onslow Medical Centre
A curving brick plinth distinguishes this prominent Johnsonville corner, the site for a timber medical centre building which is, with its one level, quietly accommodating. This is a very cost-effective and efficient use of an old residential site. Deliberately planned, with parking and services unobtrusively handled below, the structure is comfortably in scale with its neighbours. Interiors have great family-friendly colours, while photo murals and photovoltaics, as well as sun and ventilation controls, ensure the building is energy efficient. The clients report a sharp increase in community interest - and use - of the centre over their previous accommodation.
