About the project

Recognition

Winner2026 NZIA Canterbury Architecture Awards — Commercial Architecture

A seven-level mixed-use building on a 330m² nine-sided site at the intersection of High, Manchester and Lichfield Streets in central Ōtautahi Christchurch.

The sublime triangle (72/72/36) drives a folding glazed façade that captures sky, weather and street in a continuously shifting composition. Ground floor retail, five levels of GymMaster office headquarters and a rooftop residence sit within a structure designed to remain elastic in a design-level earthquake.

Designed by AW Architects, Christchurch. Talk to us about a project.
