Te Awamutu Library is a strong, simple, modern building. The building utilises a limited exterior palette of materials: precast concrete panels, glass and perforated metal. The intricate perforated metal cladding (or filigree) gives the Library its’ identity and its’ point of difference. The building fabric engages with the community and is designed with a focus on the human perspective.
Creating what matters for future generations is the philosophy that underpins our core values and how we approach our architectural commissions.
We have over 150 years of history as a public architecture practice. Our acquired knowledge and skills over this time are coupled with continual research and innovation. Coupled with our wide project experience we apply this in our design work to create efficient, resilient, sustainable solutions benefiting the communities across New Zealand.
Our history is embedded in our core values focusing on the public good and creating an enduring legacy. With this in mind we build our relationships allowing us to engage and collaborate closely with our clients. We explore with openness and transparency, to deliver the best solution with integrity and responsibility, and valuing the natural environment and resources.
We are proud of having contributed to developing the vertical and horizontal infrastructure and environments that our nation relies upon over the last 150 years history and we continue our vision to create what matters to future generations.
