King & Queen Hotel Suites: A thoughtfully designed hotel in New Plymouth's West End Precinct, featuring an iconic vertical louvre screen for sun shading and privacy, harmoniously integrating with the historic context and enhancing the urban landscape.

The project is located within the West End Precinct, New Plymouth, neighbouring the historic White Hart building, and opposite the Govett Brewster Art Gallery & Len Lye Centre. The design incorporates a clever integration of functional elements. The vertical louvre screen which has become a distinct and iconic feature of the hotel offers sun shading and privacy as well as acting as a balcony barriers. The screen creates some relief and movement to the King Street facade. The design facing Egmont street is sympathetic to the scale and context of the street& the White Hart Hotel. Full depth canopy over the footpath continues a living edge and provides an urban scale.

NB. Jeff Salisbury of Ardern Peters Architects completed this work as part of a previous architectural office that no longer exists.
