Supreme Excellence at the Auckland Property People Awards

Rachel de Lambert was named the recipient of the Ignite Architects Urban Design Award and went on to win the top accolade for "creating not only practical but also appealing urban spaces."

The judges praised Rachel as a pre-eminent urban designer who has had a significant impact in establishing and re-establishing many of Auckland, and New Zealand’s, urban spaces – work that has created an essential baseline for further regeneration projects. They cited Rachel’s propensity to give a lot back to the cities that she works with and pushes her clients to create good public spaces too.

Property Council chief executive Leonie Freeman says, “Rachel’s work is integral to development’s creating focal points through urban design, setting a high standard for others to follow.”

A partner at Boffa Miskell, Rachel has co-ordinated several urban revitalisation and design projects and is a member of the Auckland Mayoral Urban Design Task Force and the Wynyard Quarter (now Eke Panuku) Technical Advisory Group.

She led the Christchurch Blueprint for the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan, since 2017 she has led strategic policy development and master planning for one of New Zealand’s largest brownfield urban regeneration projects, the Waimakariri Precinct. Rachel also provided urban design and landscape input for the redevelopment of Scentre Group Newmarket.
