2025 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Garage & Guest Suite
This finely resolved project on Hackthorne Road is the result of a longstanding client-architect relationship. Designed by Peter Kent, the freestanding structure provides garaging, art storage, garden sheds, and beautifully crafted guest accommodation. A restrained palette of timber, Oamaru stone, and galvanised steel references the existing house while establishing its own identity. Detailing is elegant and refined with its minimalism belying some complex details. The planning and landscaping are well considered, providing a private space with views of the city.
