2025 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Glandovey Studio
This second stage of work to RC Ballantyne House introduces a refined standalone structure encompassing an artist’s studio, office, garaging, and storage. Sited on newly acquired land linking the property to Waimairi Stream, the design echoes the original house while forging strong visual and physical ties to the landscape. Drawing inspiration from the Christchurch School, the building’s articulated concrete block walls and folded roof create a dynamic interplay of structure, light, and shadow. Carefully framed river views, seamless indoor-outdoor connections, and sculpted thresholds enrich this expressive, functionally diverse addition with sculptural clarity and contextual sensitivity.
