The 2021 Best Awards Finalist’s have been announced, and Pacific Environments are on the list!

Pacific Environments have 2 projects in the 2021 Best Awards finals including Te Paataka Koorero o Takaanini, the Takanini Library and Community Hub which made the finals for 2 categories, the Public and Institutional Spaces and Spatial Colour awards.

Pacific Environments were engaged by Auckland Council on the interior fit out for the Takanini Library. The brief was to create a new multi-purpose “Community Hub” within an existing development to service the Takanini Community. A focus on providing for Mana Whenua and incorporating the rich history of the area was integral to the brief. The flexibility to accommodate a range of activities; learning, quiet study, meetings, group activities and general play, and the need to adapt to the needs of future communities, were essential considerations.

Vermont Villa (shown below), a beautifully crafted family home in Grey Lynn features in the highly competitive Spatial Residential category.
