Selected Project
151 Cambridge Terrace
As one of the first developments completed along the banks of Christchurch’s River Avon, 151 Cambridge Terrace is an iconic commercial property at the centre of the city’s rebuild. The vision was to provide a high-quality and safe working environment that connects with its context and positively adds to the urban fabric of a ‘new’ Christchurch. As such, the Jasmax design team were challenged to develop a concept equal to the site's unique setting. The seven storey building provides five levels of office accommodation; of which Levels 4 and 5 are occupied by Deloitte. A ground-floor cafe, linked to the main entrance lobby, provides amenity for staff and public alike. In addition, a restaurant and bar area is intersected by a high-quality public thoroughfare, further allowing interaction with the streetscape. A key innovation of this project is the incorporation of world-leading seismic strengthening technology. Utilising base isolation, the building is mounted on pendulum bearings which, in the event of future seismic activity, will provide the structure a flexibility to absorb seismic movement and ensure better safety to the building’s occupants.
