Two Studio Pacific projects were successful at last night’s NZIA Wellington Architecture Awards ceremony.
133 Molesworth Street won a Commercial Architecture award and the Ministry of Social Development Fitout received an award in the Interior Architecture category.
The jury commended the 133 Molesworth Street team’s ability to overcome the challenge of working with a complex existing building to achieve a ‘powerful, lineal presence’ through the use of folded white spandrel panels and dark glazing. Read the full judges’ citation for 133 Molesworth Street here.
For the Ministry of Social Development Fitout, the jury praised the use of Tāne Mahuta as the underlying concept for the project’s finishes and colourways, and highlighted collaboration between Studio Pacific and the base build architects as key to achieving a fully resolved outcome.
