2022 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Riverbank Quarter
Fourteen two- and three-storey homes have been created as part of the Riverbank Quarter mixed-use development in Christchurch’s CBD. To achieve this exemplar of urban design, the architects employed principles of building form, elevation, orientation, massing, scale, articulation, and a mix or typologies and uses. The façade consists of ‘ad-hoc’ bricks, effectively placed to create a play of shadow and light at different times of the day, and outlooks from key living areas are varied and considered. The result is an elegant solution to urban-edge, mixed-use development.
