2024 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Redcliffs Medical Centre
A fine-grained urban collage, this project is an uplifting addition to Redcliffs and the community it serves. The architects’ respect for local history and traditions, along with their dedication to safeguarding the street’s distinctive features, is commendable. The existing shop has been given a new lease of life, with careful façade adjustments to balance composition to the street frontage, while retaining original character. The colour palette and materiality pay homage to the surrounding built environment, extending the family of terracotta buildings it sits among. A welcoming entrance seamlessly links the existing shop to the new additions, comprising a collection of box forms, each distinguished by its unique materials and programme, adding individual identities to the ensemble.
