Ten new houses received Housing Awards in the NZIA Wellington Architecture Awards.
Social housing and bespoke homes were both winners in a Wellington awards ceremony celebrating the best architecture in the region. Two Kāinga Ora social housing developments, one in Mt Cook and one in Porirua, took out both the Housing – Multi Unit awards at the Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects Wellington Awards, while 10 new houses won Housing Awards. The Kāinga Ora Hanson Street development of 20 one-bedroom homes in Mt Cook, by Herriot Melhuish O’Neill Architects, and the Castor Crescent development in Porirua by Tennent Brown Architects received special mention from the awards judges.
