2017 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Fush
Fush presents Kiwi fish ‘n’ chips in a restaurant context. From the menu to the décor and the fitout to the marketing, the role of the architect is ever-present. The results speak for themselves. Fush is a busy restaurant serving a loyal clientele in a new part of Christchurch city. From the rounded service area clad in galvanised steel, to the open-plan kitchen, space has been designed and maximised to ensure a well-functioning business. Chairs, bathrooms, tables, sauce holders – everything has been designed for the business. This is an expert operator working with a clever architect. The extreme use of the colour blue derived from the architect’s intention to give the diner an underwater ambience. Among a group of chain store shops, Fush stands out as a one-off business, something for the community to call its own.
