JURY CITATION:

Developers and their architects have salvaged New Plymouth’s historic White Hart Hotel. By deftly removing decaying elements, and repairing and incorporating contemporary components, vibrancy has been restored to a building once threatened with demolition. The artful masterplanning creates a covered outdoor quadrangle and multi-use spaces that are a delightful addition to New Plymouth’s cultural precinct.

Their approach is orientated towards reconnecting people with a physical reality, a territory, its history and a cultural context. Over 23 years in practice they have developed a portfolio from bespoke residential and commercial boutique architecture to light industrial development, regenerative tourism and eco farm development.

“Our architecture seeks to reveal the landscape and the environment through innovation and common sense. Our projects are developed from a concern for forming one body with the site. Without compromising on design, we put priority on finding sustainable solutions".
