With One Saint Stephens, by Coopers is once again in the awards spotlight.
Two recent industry award wins serve to confirm what residents at One Saint Stephens have already been saying. One Saint Stephens has set a new marker for luxury living in Parnell, and in New Zealand.
Best in Category
In June this year, members of by Coopers, Countrywide Properties and Clearwater Construction were in attendance at the Property Council New Zealand Rider Levett Bucknall Property Industry Awards, where One Saint Stephens was honoured to receive Excellence Best in Category title in the Hawkins Multi Unit Residential Property Award category.
The event is New Zealand's largest industry awards event. Held at Spark Arena, Auckland, with more than 1350 industry people in attendance, the 35-year-old event is the most prestigious property awards programme in New Zealand which recognises excellence in design and innovation in the built environment.
An Architectural Winner
And a little before winning at the PCNZ awards, One Saint Stephens grabbed the spotlight, with the project architect, MAP+ Architects, taking home the award for the NZ Institute of Architecture (NZIA) Local Architecture Awards in the Housing - Multi-Unit category (Auckland). Local Architecture Awards honour the best new architecture in each of the NZIA's eight regional branches. and winners at the local level are then considered for further honours at a national level. So, watch this space.
Jury convenor and architect, Guy Tarrant said, “This year's awards highlight the value architects bring to projects in response to constraints of site, size and budget. These were all drivers for exceptional outcomes and a testament to the ability of architects to turn challenges into opportunities.”
We congratulate MAP+ Architects. It was a pleasure to have collaborated so closely with them throughout the project, and we look forward to the National Awards later this year, which will be preceded by a nationwide jury tour of the regional winners' projects.
Being recognised with both awards is a testament to the hard work and skills of all those involved in the project. We wish the residents of One Saint Stephens all the very best as they enjoy these, now award-winning, spaces created for them to live in and enjoy.
