Also latterly a NZIA national award for hospitality as well as being recognised in the Australasian Eat drink awards and Best Awards. |

Most industries obsess upon some form of self-congratulatory recognition. These awards can mean something, an Oscar, a Pulitzer or a Pritzker. Or it can be another real estate consultant of the month award. Architecture, with lofty-goals and competitive personalities, is an interesting balance between the two. You get a lot of enforced pragmatism and passive aggressive strutting, the ‘it’s-no-big-deal/hey-look-at-us’ scenario. We had an excellent time working with our clients on this West Coast house. And, yes, we won some awards. It’s no big deal though.
