The Wellington branch of Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) has announced 43 projects as finalists in this year’s local awards.

The judging panel who selected the shortlist was led by Wellington architect Shauna Herminghouse and also included fellow Wellington architects Michael O’Brien and Shani Nelson, Auckland architect Gerrad Hall, and Wellington landscape architect Robin Simpson.

Herminghouse noted, “The last year has been a busy time for architects in our region, and a lot of outstanding projects were submitted into the awards programme. Deciding on a shortlist was very challenging.

“It was particularly good to see strong entries in the multi-unit category of the awards. This is a type of housing that we badly need in Wellington, and we need it to be done well.”

See the gallery above for the full list of finalists.

The NZIA has noted that the COVID-19 lockdown has halted the usual jury visits to shortlisted projects. “Resumption of the visits or the adoption of alternative means of deciding award-winners are dependent on the national measures adopted to combat the COVID-19 pandemic,” the organisation says.

The NZIA Architecture Awards programme is supported by Resene.
