2016 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
National War Memorial Projects
An illustration of the rewards of close collaboration between client, architect and structural engineers and builders, with very smart early decisions consistently followed throughout the course of the project. Strengthened more or less from the exterior, the Hall of Memories is braced with tiers of subterranean ground beams, concrete and steel strengthening. The careful restoration of the Carillon, strengthened from the inside and impeccably finished with new plaster, has resulted in almost imperceptible changes to the original structure - a testament to the skill of all those involved.
