2019 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
20 Customhouse Quay
On a prominent waterfront site, this building makes a bold statement, as the client intended. The shiny faceted façade on the building’s seaward side suggests the diagrid structure which, together with base isolation technology, provides 20 Customhouse Quay’s seismic resilience. The well-constructed building succeeds as an object in the urban topography of downtown Wellington; it is an assured piece of shape-making, presenting a mirror to the changing moods of the city’s weather and enlivening the harbourscape with the reflected play of natural light.
