NZIA Resene Colour Award 2004
'Boarding House' conjures up negative images of the conservative and the institutional. The vibrant use of colour throughout the interior destroys any suggestion of the 'old school' with a warmth, friendliness, and excitement that is a celebration of the social environment created by the architecture.

NZIA Resene Local Award for Architecture 2004
A simple yet powerful theme is applied using pattern, form, colour, texture, and wit to create impact. The effect on the client's company culture in relocating to this new environment has been to re-energise and excite staff in an industry that is all about creating energy and excitement for listeners! Ultimately architecture is about people, not buildings, and the architecture of this building really gets the people going!

NZIA Resene Local Award for Architecture 2004
A case study in the art of doubling the size of an existing chapel while retaining the history, character, and entrance of the existing building. Creating a new diagonal axis and exploding one side of the chapel is a clever solution to a difficult problem, and worthy of recognition in itself. Yet it is the resultant sculptural ceiling, with its volume, drama, quality of light and acoustic performance that lifts this project into the realms of the sublime.

NZIA Resene Local Award for Architecture 2004
A tired and dated office is given a refreshing make-over that demonstrates the benefits of 'keeping it simple'. Eliminating clutter, opening spaces up with glass walls, and using colour to clearly define areas is all in takes to create a modern, professional and very effective working environment.

The 'Wintec Strategic Planning Report 2003' prepared by Chow:Hill Architects Ltd in association with Klu'Dup addresses the intergration of the Wintec tertiary education facility with the city of Hamilton. In doing so it takes a strategic approach and promotes sustainable outcomes.
This report demonstrates a true integration of the profession of planning, urban design and architecture and shows the way for the future of 'planning', in its wider sense. Chow:Hill Architects and Klu'Dup are worthy recipients of the Nancy Northcroft Planning Practice Award and are congratulated by the NZPI® Awards Committee.
