Designed by Christchurch architects Sheppard and Rout, these upscale commercial offices in Christchurch’s CBD include extensive marble, granite finishes and aluminium composite panel cladding. The finished product also exhibits a unique patina and singular architectural character. 

Our role was in the construction stages of the build, with the project presenting its opportunities and challenges. The building uses 24-metre deep screw piles and implements new technology Precast Seismic Structural System (PRESSS) that meet Importance Level 3 (IL3) building requirements.

Traffic management presented the most trouble during the build process since the small footprint construction site sat adjacent to a high-traffic footpath area and a parallel tram route. Luckily, due to careful planning and sensible health and safety regulations, any on-site disturbance was kept to a minimum.
