The winners of A+W•NZ Dulux Awards for 2023 were announced at an awards evening at the Northern Club on 16 September.

The awards and the nomination process are designed to maintain the two main aims of Architecture+Women•NZ: raising the visibility of women trained in architecture in Aotearoa New Zealand and celebrating the outstanding contributions of women to our built environment and architectural communities.

The awards fit under three unique categories: Leadership, Diversity and Excellence — recognising careers and an overall contribution to architecture, rather than single buildings or works.

The winners and finalists come from a variety of backgrounds, practices and areas of the country, and represent the growth of women in the field of architecture.

The jury for this year’s awards comprised Justine Clark (Parlour), Craig Moller (Moller Architects), Dr Sarah Treadwell and Carinnya Feaunati (Designgroup Stapleton Elliott).

The 2023 A+W•NZ Dulux Awards winners are:

Chrystall Excellence Award

Celebrating the full and rich career of a female in the field of architecture.

Munro Diversity Award

Celebrating those who work hard to support diversity in the field of architecture.

Wirihana Leadership Award

Celebrating a developing career for females in their second decade after graduation.

Congrats to this year’s finalists:

Each winner received a certificate and a beautiful cast-glass trophy made by Auckland architect and artist Ainsley O’Connell.
