Ridgway Chambers

Situated on Whanganui’s most picturesque street, in an area earmarked for future urban regeneration, Ridgway Chambers contributes to the reactivation of neighbouring areas by promoting central city living and providing an active street frontage. The heritage value of the building has been enhanced through careful emulation of the original façade, while a crisp, open gallery space displays its treasures to the street, further enhancing the urban scene. Upper floor apartments make efficient use of space through careful arrangement of activities, innovative sleeping lofts capitalise on high ceilings, and living areas afford views of adjacent green spaces. By reimagining the role of Whanganui’s oldest commercial building, the Ridgway Chambers project has retained the space for future generations.
