The Woolshed
NZ Institute of Architects Regional Award 2005

 



At the entrance to the estate, the historic Woolshed clad in long runcorrugated iron creates a striking first impression. The Woolshed is designed as an entertainment facility for owners and their guests.

 

As the only original farm building still standing, every effort has been made to preserve the architectural integrity of the structure while giving it a new lease of life on the Bendemeer estate. The result is an amazing makeover that has seen The Woolshed win international awards in recognition of the architectural flair behind its transformation.

Part of the shed has been virtually untouched and is separated from an opulent accommodation suite by a thick glass wall.

The juxtaposition between the old and the new is creative, inventive and striking.
