2017 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Kaiapoi Museum
This is a thoughtful and respectful response to an eclectic community collection that celebrates and documents the history of Kaiapoi. Central to the scheme is the volunteers – the life blood of the museum – being on display and working on the artefacts within the main space, surrounded by a series of ‘trade pavilions’ displaying Kaiapoi’s rich exporting and manufacturing. The exhibition cleverly makes use of all of the available space by stacking and layering the artefacts within carefully detailed display cabinetry, allowing the visitor to focus on the individual items at an intimate and domestic scale.
