2016 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Egmont Street Eatery
This clever reuse of part of a commercial basement garage followed a difficult consenting process. The tight and long skinny space is divided lengthways into service and public areas, and floor-level differences between parking and street were turned into advantages in plan: entry at middle height, down for dining, up for bar action. A limited but fashionable colour palette, and the simple shapes employed, is fresh and welcoming. This is a busy, action-packed space with a charming breakout of seating onto the edge of the lane.
