2016 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Hope Gibbons Building
The success of this project is the result of great collaboration between owners, architects and structural engineers. The crowning achievement is that you almost can't tell anything has happened at all. The architects have certainly managed to steer their way through what could have been ruinous legislation (balustrade heights and types, for instance) and the overall restructuring is a logistic tour de force within a staggered strengthening regime. The very desirable heritage tenancies that are the result of the reworking will ensure a lasting role for this building in Wellington's future.
