Nestled in the centre of Grey Street, MADE has redefined the retail and hospitality community of Hamilton East. In order to reconnect people with the river, the architecture intended to create a sense of immersion in the riverside landscape. A steel spiral staircase acts as both a visual anchor and a means of connecting the street level market with the 'sheds' below. Inherent in MADE's character, timber joinery adds warmth, innovation, and a sense of heritage that reflects Hamilton East's past. Through a thoughtful blending of materiality, MADE emerges as a vibrant space for Kirikiriroa.
