Napier Cosmopolitan Club banner

The existing Cosmopolitan Club building was constructed in two stages back in the 1920’s and 1980’s and as such required extensive seismic strengthening and upgrading. The overall building is essentially designed as two, connected by a light filled central glazed atrium. Heavy external elements such as concrete face panels, balustrades and large eaves were stripped away with the redesign and the revitalised façade was treated more like a ‘cluster of buildings’ with overhangs, canopies and balconies melding with varying glazed and solid façade cladding treatments.

About the

We are dla, creators of top notch architecture

We're small enough to take care of everything from your modest residential renovation and big enough to design, document and deliver multi-million-dollar industrial and commercial facilities, with the in-house expertise to cater for all projects in between.

Dickson Lonergan Architects (DLA) was founded in Whanganui in 1974 with founding partners Bruce Dickson (retired) and the late Barry Lonergan. Once fully established in the Whanganui region, DLA then started to expand the business, first into Wellington in 1999 with Barry and Glenn starting up the capital city office. Then came the Timaru Office headed up by Murray Ackroyd in 2005 and the further expansion to Hamilton in 2010 with Martin Swann. 

The opportunity then arose to open an Auckland office in 2015 with Alana moving north from Wellington. Now with 5 offices, DLA has evolved from its humble beginnings into a nationwide practice, with a passionate team of architects and designers who specialise in all fields from commercial, residential, industrial, interiors, education and public projects through to DLA’s main stay of large scale dairy and food processing architecture.
