2017 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Waitangi Visitors Centre
This alteration to a nationally important building is cleverly understated, and continues John Scott’s elegant proportional system with seamless transition. Original details and materials of the 1983 design are retained and enhanced, and the revision of the original John Scott walkway canopy provides a quirky sense of delight alongside its functional updating. From the interior, the gaze can now extend beyond the glazed end wall to the foliage beyond and the pathway leading to the Treaty grounds.
