2016 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Pukeahu National War Memorial Park
This comprehensive and brilliantly realised piece of city stitching manages to be very clear and quietly dramatic in its sculptural and landscaping intent without being pompous or overbearing. The well-orchestrated space is loose enough to allow almost any activity and the car-less transformation of the upper area is particularly welcome. This urban repair work, which balances heritage values with a key piece of urban infrastructure, is a deft piece of place making for Wellington.
