Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects has finalised its shortlist for the 2024 New Zealand Architecture Awards. The finalists include 48 projects across 12 categories.

The New Zealand Architecture Awards honour the best architecture produced in Aotearoa New Zealand in a given year. This year’s projects run the gamut in size, use, budget and challenges, and include one international project, the Sir Edmund Hillary Visitor Centre in Nepal.

All shortlisted projects will be visited by the national jury, headed by Caro Robertson, principal of Spacecraft Architects, over the coming weeks. Other jury members include Ari Stevens of Athfield Architects, Julie Stout of Mitchell Stout Dodd and Patrick Kennedy of Kennedy Nolan in Melbourne, Australia. The tour begins 26 August.

“From Awanui to Ōtepoti, there’s an excellent geographic spread of projects this year,” says Robinson. “It’s great to see some beautiful adaptive reuse work, as well as innovative attempts at reducing carbon footprints in new builds. The rōpū has had good conversations already about what makes architecture award-worthy, and we’re looking forward to more while we’re on the road.”

The winners of the New Zealand Architecture Awards will be announced at an event on Friday 22 November in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
