Cantilevering out towards the Waikato River, this parasitic architectural gesture clings to the existing Riverbank Lane building whilst reaching out over the new Victoria on the River Park. Reflecting the daring aspirations of both client and tenant the new creative studio is bold in gesture externally and internally.
"If one building could represent Hamilton’s central city zeitgeist then perhaps it could be this: an intriguingly angled insertion into an existing commercial building that was prefabricated on an adjacent site before being craned into position and completed. Thoughtfulness pervades the new structure, which cantilevers out towards the river below: recession planes have been carefully considered to respect neighbours’ views; the open-plan work environment is arranged for collaborative and independent work; and the curved corner deck – with balustrade detailed in sympathy with park elements below – extends the interior out to a prime riverside setting."

From urban spaces and workplaces, to private homes and holiday retreats, we believe good design should create an enriching experience that inspires individual and social well-being.
From our studios in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty we offer a comprehensive architectural service, extending from the macro level of master planning to the tactile experience of intimate interior spaces.
Each of our projects is an opportunity to bring together, people, capability and resource, in order to produce the highest outcome. Our design-led and pragmatic approach develops design responses that are thoughtful and beautiful yet grounded in a deep understanding of craftsmanship and technology.
Since Edwards White began in 2005 we have been designing with a deep respect of the environmental context. We believe that early integration of sustainability into conceptual thinking, leads to rich design outcomes that positively shape our environment and our culture. We’re also taking additional steps to improve the way our decisions and operations support a low carbon future, and are committed to the education and implementation of these practices.
