Finalists for 2017 New Zealand Architecture Awards announced


Finalists for 2017 New Zealand Architecture Awards announced

Fifty-one projects have been shortlisted in New Zealand’s leading architecture awards programme.

The finalists in the New Zealand Architecture Awards are located at sites around the country, from the Bay of Islands to Central Otago, and range from new houses to schools, churches and office buildings.

Twenty-one of the shortlisted projects are in or around Auckland, eight are in Christchurch and seven in Wellington.

Housing is the strongest category in the Awards, with 17 finalists. There are seven finalists in both the public architecture and commercial architecture categories, five in the heritage category and four in the education category. Three of the finalists are architecture practices’ own offices.
The convenor of the Awards jury, Arrowtown architect Louise Wright, said the relatively high number of shortlisted projects was testament to a strong year in New Zealand architecture.

“The range and quality of recent architecture projects made it difficult to decide what to leave off the shortlist,” said Wright. She and fellow jury members, Auckland architects Lance Herbst and Jack McKinney and Australian architect Kerry Clare, will visit all of the shortlisted projects later this month.

“Auckland architecture is evidently booming and it’s good to see a stream of strong projects emerging in Christchurch,” Wright said. “The jury is also pleased that there are strong award contenders in the public architecture category.”
