By EA Architects Studio
EA Architects Studio is proud to have experience in community projects. We place a key emphasis on creating spaces with meaningful connections to the surrounding landscape and a sense of grounded-ness by appealing to all of the senses.
We designed this community centre for a special community organisation, who needed an office head quarters, and to provide a facility for refugees needing to learn english and integrate into the local culture in a safe environment.
This building comprises of open plan offices, flexible classrooms, a conference room, prayer room, kitchen, function room, central courtyard and a children’s play area. Seating has been incorporated into the external facade to allow the wider community to engage with the building and enjoy the surrounding native gardens, while a private courtyard has been incorporated into the centre of the building for the building occupants. This project was a design and build project and was completed on budget.
Sally Young was given an award for her contribution to the successful completion of the Community Centre in 2014.
EA Architects Studio is a New Zealand architecture firm with a local and international focus.
We at EA Architects Studio understand that building or renovating is likely one of the greatest investments you will make in your lifetime. As your architects, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality design, resource and/or building consent documentation, project management and contract administration services to meet your timeframes and budget (yes, this is possible).
Our first job is to understand your vision and needs, not to present our own. We value timeliness, direct communication and face-to-face meetings. We will then provide you with a return brief, to show you we understand your needs, wants and budget, and that we can help turn these ideas into a reality.
Over the years, we have been fortunate to collaborate with some excellent private and public clients on some wonderful projects, but we believe it is still too early to weigh in on the success of the work. A building exists in time and its usefulness is directly related to how well it continues to perform. We value feedback and pride ourselves on maintaining relationships with existing clients.
We believe with our collaborative approach and strong relationships with other experts in the field, we can work as your lead consultant and creative leader to turn your dreams into a reality. Feel free to contact us to discuss your project.
