2017 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Pou Maumahara - WW1 Research Centre
This is an understated yet intensely-resolved interior fitout to a major public building, which looks and feels contemporary yet fits so well that it seems it could have been in place for many years. The design builds on the spirit of the display, rather than using thematic or referential devices. Furniture, display and lighting configurations blur softly together as complete compositions. The overall sense is one of intimacy, an intention of the exhibition where the users of this space connect with those who lost their lives at war as individuals, rather than anonymous ‘others’.
