Buildings in Kawerau, Lake Waikaremoana, and Kinloch have been shortlisted for the 2017 New Zealand Architecture Awards.
Kawerau's Tarawera High School, by RTA Studio, is a finalist in the education category, The Kinloch Club near Taupo, by Patterson Associates, in the housing category, and Te Wharehou o Waikaremoana at LakeWaikaremoana, by Tennent+Brown Architects, is in the public architecture category.
Earlier this year The Kinloch Club was a winner in the hospitality and retail category at the 2017 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards.
Awards convener Steven Chambers said the building "reflects the design team's commitment to creating environments that are dramatic yet comfortable, lavish yet not ostentatious, and that yield spaces with a human quality and sense of welcome".

Mr Chambers said Tarawera High School was an "inspiring exemplar of architecture embedded in place and community".
"It exceeds the potential limitations of budget to deliver uplifting and authentic innovative learning environments."
Fifty-one projects nationwide have been shortlisted for the awards to be held at the Viaduct Events Centre in Auckland on November 10.
Housing is the strongest category in the awards, with 17 finalists. There are seven finalists in both the public architecture and commercial architecture categories, five in the heritage category and four in the education category.

Three of the finalists are architecture practices' own offices.
The convener of the awards jury, Arrowtown architect Louise Wright, said the relatively high number of shortlisted projects was testament to a strong year in New Zealand architecture.
"The range and quality of recent architecture projects made it difficult to decide what to leave off the shortlist," Ms Wright said.
She and fellow jury members, Auckland architects Lance Herbst and Jack McKinney and Australian architect Kerry Clare, will visit all of the shortlisted projects later this month.
Ms Wright said Auckland architecture was evidently booming and it was good to see a stream of strong projects emerging in Christchurch.

"The jury is also pleased that there are strong award contenders in the public architecture category."
Buildings in the categories of housing, commercial, education and public architecture will be considered for signature awards named for four influential New Zealand architects: Sir Ian Athfield, Sir Miles Warren, Ted McCoy and John Scott.
