2023 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre
The Convention Centre's re-build represents a remarkable achievement, seamlessly integrating boutique and large-scale design principles with a rich cultural narrative. The Centre now stands as a landmark, serving as a bridge between the Cathedral Square's periphery and the Ōtakaro-Avon River precinct. The team's meticulous attention to detail, thorough planning and unwavering commitment to cultural respect, have birthed a breath-taking space that fosters public engagement and pays homage to the physical and cultural environment. The project is a testament to the team's ability to create a functional convention centre that remains deeply anchored within its place, offering an immersive experience for all who enter.
