2021 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Hunter Atrium
Wedged carefully between the Hunter and Robert Stout Buildings of Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington, this light-filled atrium provides both a new front door to the university’s administrative facilities, and multi-level connections between the two buildings. Occupying the footprint of a previous building, the project sets about attentively restoring the existing facades, with the glazed envelope allowing full visibility of the two heritage buildings it adjoins. The crisp and subtly detailed zinc entry portico and voluminous interior create an engaging and civilised public environment for staff, students and visitors.
