2024 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
One One Two
An elegant, sculptural and self-assured corner building has been carefully detailed with subtle material selection to create delicate forms and textures. At a busy urban intersection opposite the restful Avon River and Hagley Park, the building form responds to duality in its context by creating layered duality in form. A curvilinear brick mass hovers lightly above a finely detailed timber ground floor. An interplay of light is created across interior and exterior spaces through water reflection and carefully detailed steel, brick and timber screening. A tactile response for the new homeowners and a contemporary, characterful addition to the street corner.
