2021 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
The Hotel Britomart
When approaching this building’s deeply thoughtful façade, architecture as a process of crafting - from concept, to thousands of drawings, to the relationships between architect, contractors and clients, to people as occupants - feels magical. This complex upgrade of the historic Buckland Masonic building includes two new rooftop pavilion hotel suites, offices from level 1 to 3, and laneways at ground level to connect with the lively Britomart precinct, but despite all this activity, the bespoke nature of the build makes every piece and part feel meaningful. From its custom door handles to the sight of that façade against the blue Tāmaki Makaurau sky, the Hotel Britomart is a generous gift for Aucklanders.
