Twizel Public Toilets

By DLA Architects

Profile
Twizel Public Toilets banner

Sited in the centre of the Mackenize Country township of Twizel, this modest public building utilizes exposed concrete and steel structural elements in a distinctly ‘1960’s building form to reference the massive Hydro schemes of the 1960s and 1970s around which the town was created. Demanding functional requirements, including hugely variable Summer and Winter weather conditions, are met through the use of durable materials and finishes and sophisticated insulation and building management systems. The public also enjoys new outdoor spaces which were created below a large steel-framed pergola that extends the building form beyond the exterior walls.

About the
Professional

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.
