Auckland, 2016.

Designed in response to the unique qualities of this heritage arcade, the new stone floor attempts to negotiate and reconcile the existing range of materials, finishes and scales. Out of our research into Victorian arcades across New Zealand and Australia we proposed a layout with a dark border of black basalt tiles framing a central checkerboard pattern of veined grey stone. In response to the eclectic nature of the arcade, our scheme allows for moments of texture, fine grain and changes in rhythm within the overall symmetry of the space.

About the
Professional

Glamuzina Architects is an Auckland based practice established in 2014. We strive to produce architecture that is crafted, contextual and clever. Rather than seeking a particular outcome we value a design process that is collaborative, critical and rigorous.

When designing we look to the context of a project beyond just its immediate physical location to the social, political, historical and economic conditions of place. This results in architecture that is uniquely tailored to the context it sits within.

We work on many different types of projects across a range of scales; from small interiors to large public buildings. Regardless of a project's budget we always prefer to work smart, using a creative mix of materials, light and volume in preference to elaborate finishes or complex detailing.

Our designs have been recognised for their excellence and innovation, winning many national and local awards including two New Zealand Architecture Awards in 2013 for S House and Lake Hawea Courtyard House.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
