2021 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Nelson Hospice
This building is the culmination of a huge collaboration between the clients, architects, consultants, contractors and sub-contractors. Conceived as a single-level complex of residential forms, fitting for its suburban context, this generously scaled facility provides space for all the whānau. Rooms have been designed to minimise that clinical feel, while maintaining all the functionality required. Expansive landscaping around the site is enjoyed via private decks and internal courtyards that provide daylight, ventilation and wayfinding. This is a thoughtful, considered building that provides an exceptional level of palliative care, as well as allowing for community education and pastoral care. The architects have succeeded in creating a place that is inviting, uplifting, and healing, and a huge asset for the region.
