Public

Sited in the centre of the Mackenize Country township of Twizel, this modest public building utilises exposed concrete and steel structural elements in a distinctly 1960’s building form to reference the massive Hydro schemes of the 1960's and 1970's 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 enjoy new outdoor spaces which were created below a large steel framed pergola that extends the building form beyond the exterior walls.

This project was the recipient of the NZIA Canterbury, Public Architecture Award in 2015.
