We are absolutely delighted to have both BNZ Place and Park House selected as finalists in the spatial category of this year’s Best Design Awards!
The Best Design Awards, held by the Designers Institute of New Zealand, are Australasia’s largest annual showcase of excellence across graphic, digital, motion design, product and spatial along with the Value of Design Award, Public Good Award and the Toitanga award – which recognise the changing nature of the design industry.
BNZ Place
Shortlisted in the Spatial – Workplace Environments (over 1,000sqm) category
BNZ Place at 1 Whitmore Street in Wellington is a testament to practical and purposeful workplace design. Occupying 17,000m2 across 12 floors, the interior design strategy is a balanced combination of sustainability, wellbeing, and functionality.
Built around a design narrative of navigation, landform and seascape, key groupings of spaces, materials and circulation pathways lead you through the fitout and up through the floors to the sky.
Park House
Shortlisted in the Spatial – Residential Architecture category
Set in the picturesque town of Wānaka, Park House embodies simplicity and warmth, drawing inspiration from the rugged charm of mountain huts while maintaining a refined aesthetic.
Designed to accommodate multiple families during holidays, the home offers comfortable, sunlit spaces that promote relaxation and tranquillity, ensuring a memorable stay for residents and guests alike.
Congratulations to all the finalists! Winners will be announced at an awards event held in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland on Friday 11 October.
