HEART: The new hall at Christchurch Boy’s High School which won an award at the
2018 Canterbury Architecture Awards. SKILL: The Cathedral Grammar junior school.
New structures earn awards for architecture
SEVERAL COMMERCIAL and
public architecture projects and
innovative buildings for learning
were recognised at the 2018
Canterbury Architecture Awards last
week.
As part of the peer-reviewed New
Zealand Architecture Awards programme
run by the New Zealand Institute
of Architects, the awards announced
34 winners at a ceremony at
the Transitional Cathedral.
Designed by Architectus, the St
Andrew’s College Centennial Chapel
received an award for it’s “exemplary
response to a challenging brief – to
replace a damaged but much-loved
school building,” said the jury convenor
for this year’s awards architect
Melanda Slemint.
“The chapel roof, a series of folded
ridges and valleys, is a powerful
sculptural element reminiscent
of early church buildings yet contemporary
in execution,” said Ms
Slemint.
Continuing with school awards,
Andrew Barrie Lab and Tezuka Architects
picked up an award for their
work on the Cathedral Grammar
junior school.
“To compose a building that is
so ‘scale specific’ to its primary
occupants also requires immense
patience and diligence, coupled with
serious architectural skill.”
The school also received an interior
award, with the jury commenting
on the “sumptuous and warm character”
and noting that “any building
with a playground on the roof must
be a winner,” said Ms Slemint.
A new hall at Christchurch Boys’
High School designed by Jasmax is a
“clever insertion of a contemporary
building within the traditional
school fabric that has given the
school a new heart,” the jury said.
Awards were also given to a
“community-minded” housing development
in Fendalton, Lintrathen
Gardens and earthquake rebuild
Ellis House, both by Sheppard and
Rout Architects.
A heritage award was given to
restoration projects for Glandovey
House by Warren and Mahoney.
REPLACEMENT: The St Andrew’s College Centennial
Chapel received an award for its ‘exemplary response
to a challenging brief.’
