2020 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Formway Design Studio
A steel portal inserted into a restored historical façade opens into a lengthy open meeting and office space. A timber and glazed wall runs along the length of the space, separating front and back of house spaces. Black steel portals puncture the timber and glass wall, organising the space and offering glimpses to production spaces. A concrete plinth extends along the wall, creating a stage to display the star of the show: the elegant chairs that the company designs. A simple palette of materials and concepts doesn’t compete with heritage space and modern products created within the studio; rather, it enhances and beautifully organises it.
