2017 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Papamoa Plaza
The architects have extended and refurbished an existing shopping centre with a commitment to returning a sense of place to a previously context-less mall. Strategically freeing the foodcourt from the interior allows it to occupy a light-filled, glazed public edge and addresses the interface between building and carpark well. A relevant canopy defines and articulates an active pedestrian edge resulting in a successful intervention that bridges the divide between community space and typical faceless suburban mall.
