2020 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Ethel Street Warehouses
A silk purse from a sow’s ear: in this project, the architects saw the potential of a simple row of steel-trussed warehouses hiding behind a series of banal office sheds. The revealing of these spaces and addition of elegant façades composed of new glazing and existing concrete panels has resulted in desirable tenancies for multiple uses. Within the interior, mezzanines that stop short of the perimeter allow the generous scale of the original volume to be experienced. A carefully designed carparking forecourt offers opportunities for tenants to hold external events.
