NZIA 2025 Canterbury Architecture Awards
Winner - Commercial
A landmark 1938 building has been revitalised into a vibrant hospitality venue, respecting its architectural legacy while embracing renewal. A finely detailed red brick extension sits alongside the original structure, with a recessed negative detail marking the transition between old and new. This separation highlights both forms while creating key access points. Winner of the NZIA Canterbury Architecture Award 2025, the project was praised for its balance of heritage sensitivity and contemporary expression.
