2021 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner

Christchurch Town Hall

With their work barely visible in parts, yet still confident and bold, the architects have successfully restored this iconic piece of Christchurch. One of the very best examples of the city’s Brutalist style, this landmark building was nearly lost to demolition in the aftermath of the February 2011 earthquake. The team involved in the reconstruction, restoration and refurbishment of the town hall have shown respect and integrity in their handling of such a sensitive project. By finding appropriate ways to add substantial additional space and making the necessary accessibility, safety and technological upgrades, the architects have shown that the vision and skill of this town hall’s original designers lives on.
