AUCKLAND CITY // NEW ZEALAND
The iconic Hotel DeBrett has beenstylishly re-interpreted into a 25-room boutique hotel, with everyroom individually designed and complimented with eclectic furniture, New Zealand art and photography.
Walker Commercial collaborated on the concept with client Michelle Deery and Mitchinson Simiona Architects, who completed project and documentation for the exterior design, while we handled design of the atrium space and lighting as well as upgrading the ground floor to suit the need of boutique retail. The interior spaces were done in collaboration with Martin Hughes Interior Architects.
The Hotel won the 2009 NZIA Auckland Architecture Award (Heritage Category), Bronze at the 2009 DINZ Best Awards in the Hospitality category and was Division Winner at the 2010 NZRIA RED Awards. It also made it onto the World Architecture News Retail Interiors Award (a leading European design competition) ‘long list’ in the Hotel category.
