NZIA Awards

14/04/2010

The Yellow™ Tree House in Auckland and the Landscape Architecture at Lincoln University in Canterbury have been named winners in the New Zealand Architecture 2010 Awards.

The Yellow™ Tree House was engineered by Holmes Consulting Group on a very tight schedule. The architects, Pacific Environments Architects created a magical treehouse for an advertising campaign. More on the project can be seen here.

The Landscape Architecture building at Lincoln University by Sheppard & Rout Architects in association with Royal Associates, captured jurors' attention with its organic quality and was hailed as proof that "a miraculous outcome can be delivered on a tight budget". More about our part in the project can be found here.

The Beaumont Quarter project in Auckland won an urban design award for Studio Pacific Architecture and was praised as “a great result from a developer-driven project”.

The winning projects will now be considered for the 2010 New Zealand Architecture Medal, to be announced in May. Only one Medal may be awarded each year.

More information on the New Zealand Institute of Architects can be found on the NZIA website.

  • Landscape Architecture School: An interesting feature of the building is the curved roof following the form of a tapered cone yet constructed in structural steel.
