The Riverbanks development is positioned within the heart of Hamilton's CBD, adjoining the recently completed Riverbank Lane development. This 1960's building was originally designed by the Ministry of Works with structural capacity to have an additional floor. The client wanted to give the building a complete refurbishment and make use of its latent potential for additional floor area. The design approach required an editing process. Stripping back the superficial facing components to explore the beauty of the building's key elements and allow these to generate the new aesthetic.
