2016 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Ministry of Culture and Heritage
This high quality fitout has great detailing throughout. Workspaces are organised around an interconnecting stair that links four floors. A perforated-metal suspended ceiling conceals all the services required of a contemporary office, and in a nod to the base buildings heritage, these ceilings have been set back from the outer walls to celebrate, and not obscure, the tall arched heritage windows. Existing rooms with heritage qualities have been reimagined for the modern workplace, with the 'rotunda' rooms are particularly successful. Re-using furniture is unusual, but here it has been worked in seamlessly.
