2024 has been an incredibly busy year for us here at the Building Agency. Between training sessions and events, we've had numerous product launches, international factory trips, and hosting key suppliers here in NZ discussing exciting new projects. We are continuously committed to researching and testing new product technology and, while our team is looking forward to a well-earned break with family and friends, we are looking forward to connecting with you all again next year. We will be back on 13th January 2025. Happy holidays everyone!

Te Arikinui Pullman Auckland Airport Hotel has been awarded two of the highest accolades by the Designers Institute of New Zealand - marking the ‘best of the best’ in design for 2024. Designed by WAM in close collaboration with Tainui Group Holdings Limited and Auckland Airport, and interiors in association with Space Studio, Te Arikinui received two supreme Purple Pins at the DINZ Best Awards, and two Gold Pins for Spatial and Toitanga on Friday. "Te Arikinui Pullman Hotel exemplifies the integration of te ao Māori and architectural design," said the jury. "It has seamlessly blended a truly indigenous design into the innovation of a high-class modern space. The design has set a standard for re-indigenising our spaces to exude the prestige and elegance of cultural narratives. The name Te Arikinui holds exceptional mana in Aotearoa New Zealand and the judges have agreed that this design, narrative, and innovation upholds that mana and is the pinnacle of the spatial category in 2024. Nei rā ngā mihi nui whakaharahara ki a koutou o Tainui, otirā, ngā mātanga katoa o te kaupapa hirahira rā. Ko tā koutou mahi te taumata i tēnei tau." WAM Managing Director John Coop says this is an outstanding outcome, and well-deserved recognition for this significant project. “To receive a Purple Pin is a very rare occurrence. But to be recognised with two Purple Pins is an incredible achievement that recognises the hard work, dedication and commitment from our clients and the design and delivery teams. Our congratulations and sincere thanks to all involved for their dedication to design excellence.” View more about this project here: https://lnkd.in/dYvGpPWw Renata Te Wiata Space Studio Ltd

The Pā – University of Waikato is an incredible and iconic building in its own right. A clever collab between Architectus, Jasmax, Design Tribe, and Wraight + Associates Ltd, this is a beautiful example of the use of warm hues on the facade (flowing into the interior), bringing a feeling of welcome home, and earth into a space. We are really proud that our HD fibre cement product equitone featured so prominently on this one. It's no wonder this project was recently crowned WINNER – Te Kāhui Whaihanga NZIA Waikato & Bay of Plenty Architecture Award – Education 2024. PRODUCTS: Equitone natura in colours 074, 331 and 359. Alucolux in champagne metallic was used for interior saw tooth detailing and signage panels. PHOTOGRAPHER: Mark Scowen Photography

Bravo! Congrats on the win. Such a stunning project and brilliant use of #equitone in multiple tones..if we don't say so ourselves. 👏
Te Iwitahi - Whangarei Civic Centre 2024 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner Category: Commercial Architecture This ambitious civic building places the community, council staff and principles of placemaking at the very heart of the design approach. Disparate functions have now been centralised in the Knowledge Hub precinct of Whangārei. Liaison with local hapu, a rōpū kaumātua, has resulted in a building that reflects universal multi-cultural themes and a strong tikanga Māori narrative. The transparent form engages the public in democratic processes and functions. A strong axial plan connects the pōhutakawa-fringed forecourt to customer services, community theatre and council chambers. A logical and coherent internal programme above the public area sees workstations and shared staff spaces configured around a light-filled four-storey atrium. An attractive, collegial and comfortable working environment, the centre is highly popular with the community and staff. #nzia #nziaawards #newzealandarchitecture #archdaily #auckland #TEAMArchitects #architects #architecture #civicarchitecture #nzarchitecture #whangāreidistrictcouncil #wdc #whangārei #TeIwitahi #northland #architecturenz #interiordesign #interior #civic #award
