Chch architect wins awards
A Christchurch architect, Sir Miles Warren, has won two awards in the 1986 New Zealand Institute of Architects
Pilkington national design awards.
Sir Miles, his sister, Mrs Pauline Trengrove, and brother-in-law, Mr John Trengrove, won a special
conservation and landscape award for their restoration and redevelopment of an old house at Governors Bay, Ohinetahi. The partnership of Sir Miles Warren and another Christchurch architect, Mr Maurice Mahoney, won a design award for the Rotorua District Civic Centre. The five architects who judged the awards said that the Rotorua civic centre reached an architectural standard against which other civic buildings would be measured.
Thirty-one entries were submitted for the awards, with eight awards being given, including four in special categories.
Other winners were Architects Collaborative, Ltd, for the Auckland Harbour Board offices; Manning Mitchell, for Gibbs House, Auckland; and Athfield Architects, for the Skyline Restaurant, Wellington. Special awards went to John Scott (25-year award), for the Futuna Chapel, Wellington; Boon Goldsmith and Company (civic design), for the New Plymouth Clock Tower; and the architects at the Auckland Ministry of Works and Development (conservation), for Mansion House, Kawau Island.
