Te Tuhi gallery has officially reopened this week following an extensive renovation. After the 50-year-old building suffered significant flood damage last June, we took the opportunity to revitalise the space by drawing on the essence of the original 1975 design to bring warmth and cohesion to the interior.
The new spatial planning provides additional display areas for art and improves connectivity between spaces. We have also enhanced the back-of-house functionality for staff, including updated kitchen and toilet facilities.
We collaborated with local artisans to add unique details throughout. Made By Saul created countertops, using oak felled just 20 meters from the building, rooting the building to the land. While screens by Finework add a sense of intrigue. A polished concrete floor completes the new palette.
With limited design time and a very tight budget the team is thrilled with the refurbishment.
The first exhibition opens on 28 February, and we look forward to seeing the building full of life and art once again.
