2009 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Canterbury Club
This avant garde approach to extending and upgrading a series of Category 2 listed heritage buildings sets an important precedent for the treatment of heritage buildings in Christchurch. The architect has had to work within a tight budget, a maze of corridors, a century of building alterations and many conflicting building, programme and interest group demands. The result is an integrated, earthquake-strengthened, coherent complex comprising both the most important original heritage features and a contemporary extension.
