Selected Project
Caddick and Caldwell BlocksChristchurch Boys High School
The Caddick and Caldwell Blocks at Christchurch Boys High School (CBHS) campus were completed in 2021. These blocks provide replacements for the previous buildings of the same name that were irreparably damaged in the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes. These general and specialist science teaching facilities form a combined 4,880m² area, integrated with the Category 1 heritage-listed Main Block and adjacent Hall. The new buildings frame the central Mihi Whakatau Quad bringing together these many distinct site elements. The new building’s architecture has been designed to reference key heritage and modernist structures on the campus through formal references, considered proportions and window fenestration, expressed colonnades and material selections. They are durable buildings grounded in place but adaptable to an ever-evolving education context.
