Topline's involvement in the winning project for the 2024 Auckland Architecture Award for Education

Jennie Gillespie from Topline Group

Ngākōroa School won the 2024 Auckland Architecture Award for Education. Topline was selected to do all roofing, gutters, downpipes, clear sheets, flashings and wall cladding on this site. Well done to Jasmax on receiving this fantastic award. We loved working with you and all involved!

"The buildings wrap informally around a courtyard, engendering a strong sense of place. Empathy for the ‘long fingers’ of the awa flowing conceptually through the site is evident in the landscape, galvanising the greenfields school within its surroundings and cultural heritage. Input from Ngāti Tamaoho has been valuable. A palette of soft timber, brick and finely detailed screens gives a domestic scale and intimacy to the structures. Inclusivity and safety are emphasised. Empowered by the senior teaching staff, the school reflects their energy and intensity for pedagogy. Flexible learning spaces combined with specialised spaces create a friendly and welcoming environment."

The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.

The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'

Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
