2021 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Oxford Terrace
Built in 1979 and designed by Trengrove & Blunt to house their architectural practice, this two-storey, concrete-block, former office building is now an inner-city home. Located opposite Ōtakaro / the Avon River and overlooking the Oi Manawa National Earthquake Memorial, the repurposing of this building into a contemporary home is a fine compliment to the original architecture. By locating living areas on the top level and an office, art studio and workshop on the lower, this architect has made the most of Oxford Terrace’s existing gifts. An extension to the rear has provided the amenities of a new garage and a garden terrace.
