2025 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Upper West Sports Centre
Located within an iconic architectural campus, this building shows an appropriate level of respect to the existing built context without being overly deferential. A striking eastern façade with its concrete ribs paying homage to the main campus buildings sits above a base of red brick, in turn reflecting the walled enclosure of the sports field. Behind this elevation, the sports centre contains an impressive collection of facilities highlighted by a stunningly spacious, light-filled gymnasium. While splendid in scale and amenity, it is the obvious care that has been put into the finer architectural details that sets this building apart as an exemplar of its type.
