The Olive Leaf, Arrowtown banner

The Olive Leaf building, located in the historic town of Arrowtown, New Zealand, is an impressive multi-functional centre that serves as an extension of a near 150-year-old church. The complex comprises a multifunctional space and accommodation, all housed under a stunning overarching leaf form.

To create a rich tapestry of texture and form, the building will be adorned with natural materials that are carefully selected to reflect the surrounding landscape, using only regional materials. This design approach not only enhances the building's aesthetic appeal but also promotes a deeper connection between the structure and its environment.

Overall, The Olive Leaf building is a remarkable testament to the synergy between innovative design and natural beauty, serving as a fitting tribute to the rich history and culture of the Arrowtown community.
