2013 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Fendalton Road Shops
The building is a sensitive, contextual response to its suburban setting. A carefully considered façade provides the pleasure of well-ordered small-scale elements, including the relief-work on the shop fronts, fabric canopies, and textured copper upper-level cladding. This scale achieves for individual shop owners all the niceties of volume, light and variety of identity. The carefully scaled building design, material selections and street landscape combine to provide an edge that is comfortably occupied, despite the busy state of the road intersection, and, as such, hints to an association with the community it serves.
