An alpine landmark with national impact

In the Craigieburn Valley, Hierarchy Group’s Sugarloaf at Flockhill earned dual national titles in commercial architecture and commercial interiors. Set against a dramatic high-country backdrop, the building balances hospitality, craft and landscape in equal measure. A confident piece of architecture that feels entirely of its place.

Coastal refinement in Mt Maunganui

Adam Taylor of ata delivered one of the night’s standout achievements with Rhythm & Greens awarded both for its sensitive residential reconfiguration and its beautifully resolved interiors. The project is a clear example of how thoughtful planning can reshape the way a home breathes and lives.

Residential clarity in the South

Figure & Ground enjoyed a remarkable year with two national wins.

Macandrew Lane in Wānaka distils alpine living into a warm, composed family home, while Gracefield Avenue in central Christchurch redefines what sensitive urban densification can look like. An elegant response to contemporary multi-unit living.

Large-scale living with material confidence

In North Canterbury, Archco's Burntwood earned top honours for homes over 300m². With its robust material palette and generous planning, the project shows how scale can be delivered with both boldness and restraint.
