As Ōtautahi Christchurch prepares for the opening night of Te Kaha One New Zealand Stadium, we look back at Lancaster Park / Jade Stadium, which was left unusable after the 2011 earthquake.

The terrace at 50 Albert Street.
A setback on level 4 continues the streetwall height, mediates between low-rise and mid-rise floors and provides outdoor space for the occupants with a herb garden, perimeter planting and a covered al fresco lunch area.

Catalina Bay Apartments, Hobsonville Point
2025 New Zealand Architecture Awards
Winner - Housing - Multi Unit
The judges said: “The Catalina Bay Apartments set a benchmark for high-density living in the Hobsonville area with a varied urban form and response to its context. The building cleverly sleeves a row of three-level townhouses to conceal the above grade car parking behind, while two apartment tower blocks sit on top.
The design responds to a viewshaft constraint across the site with the building mass broken into two tower blocks of unequal heights. There is a clarity in the design outcome with a clearly expressed structural grid of the apartment blocks populated with infill walls and balcony zones while the townhouses are clad in brick to distinguish them from the towers behind. The project successfully creates and establishes an urban edge to the developing precinct.”

Clifford-Forsyth House - Part 1
The design concept began with an investigation of the relationship between a light wooden frame and solid retaining block walls, and an ideal of creating the spirit of a boathouse, a place to retreat to, almost a holiday house within the city.
