2010 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Mana Tamariki
This truly Maori school is the result of the architects carefully listening to and understanding the client. Maori sensibilities have driven the project concept. The journey from young to old is handled within the spirit of whanau - always a sense of the next space and of being part of a nurturing community, sheltered under a calm, ‘cloaking’ roof form. A modest budget has been met with subtle innovation and a clever selection of quality materials.
