2011 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Office Building
Responding to the brief for a speculative commercial building in a restrained market, the Architect has developed both a highly functional and an attractive building. The very efficient floor plates utilise clear open spans and extract the circulation core maximising tenancy options. The core is then turned toward the street and celebrated as a strong sculptural element housing an elegant curving stair with filtered light playing through the louvred façade against a backdrop of warm timbers. This is a bold, stylish and well-articulated office development standing proudly in its surroundings.
