2022 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner

This addition to the Ōtākaro East Frame area of Christchurch CBD is a masterful display of multi-unit housing. Well resolved and deceptively simple forms come together to achieve a considered relationship to the adjacent heritage façade to the north, Rauora Park to the west, and an existing carpark building behind. Thoughtful spatial planning has achieved lofty, light-filled interiors, with services and storage components cleverly tucked out of view. Elegantly proportioned windows and refined brick detailing achieve an economical and robust outcome for this urban setting. AW Architects’ attention to detail, and thoughtful urban response, has delivered an exceptional contribution to the ongoing residential densification of Ōtautahi Christchurch.
