2017 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Kaikoura Museum
Exhibition design prowess is not the only thing on display at this museum; it also stands as a reminder of the positive relationship established between the client, architect and local community at the project’s inception. The coast and the sea are a primary focus of the museum, but it is also a repository for the local community’s stories and artefacts. All are portrayed with colour, through clever inbuilt joinery elements that encourage interaction, and through the innovative use of technology. This is an inviting and intriguing museum, where visitors can begin at the centre and circle outwards and find their own paths, accompanied by clever super graphics that serve as a reminder of both where you are and the beauty that surrounds.
