2024 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner

The Arts Centre Bridge

A vibrant and whimsical addition to the traditional brick-and-stone architecture seamlessly connects two sections of the Arts Centre, offering a visually striking contemporary juxtaposition that enriches both the historic and modern elements. The reflective coloured-glass façade, inspired by Rita Angus’ renowned Cass painting, features a recurring quatrefoil pattern, paying homage to the heritage structure. The bridge is elegantly supported by a timber truss, serving both as a structural element and an elegant seismic solution.
