Piha's 'robot llama' surf tower shortlisted for international award
Kia ora neighbours, a new lifeguard watchtower at Piha Beach has been shortlisted for an international architecture award.
The north Piha watchtower, named Te Pae, divided public opinion when its brutalist design was released in 2020. It was completed in June.
Crosson Architects has been shortlisted at the World Architecture Festival Awards for the watchtower design, which has been described by neighbours as looking like a “robot llama”.
The World Architecture Festival is the world’s largest festival and live awards competition dedicated to architectural excellence across the globe, according to its website.
