Keynote Speaker – Patrick Clifford

Patrick is a founding Director of Architectus and has been responsible for the design leadership of the practice’s major projects throughout New Zealand. He was awarded the highest honour in New Zealand architecture – the Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects’ Gold Medal in 2014 in recognition of his contribution to the body of work produced by Architectus.

Under his design leadership, Architectus has created an unrivalled record of award-winning projects across all building types. Architectus’ work has been recognised for its clarity of intent and resolution, its careful reading of context and content and ability to advance a broad cultural agenda. Heritage informs all the work whether it be at building or urban scale, or as a particular focus. Recent projects include ongoing contributions to the remaking of the Wynyard Quarter on Auckland’s waterfront that build on this marine industrial setting , a number of additions to the campus of the University of Auckland ,and the Centennial Chapel at St. Andrew’s College in Christchurch ,which retains a memory of its past by integrating and celebrating elements of its lost heritage, while responding sensitively to needs of the present.

Patrick is an astute and articulate architectural commentator. He has maintained a long running association with both schools of architecture in Auckland as a critic and tutor, including a two year Adjunct Professorship at Unitec. He has lectured widely on the work of Architectus both nationally and internationally, and contributed to a wide range of industry groups and organisations and is a past President of Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects.

Supreme Winner -  Proudly sponsored by the Christchurch Heritage Trust

The Clock Tower, The Arts Centre of Christchurch
Entrant: The Arts Centre of Christchurch Trust
One of the central city’s most significant landmarks, the Clock Tower Block at the Arts Centre of Christchurch was designed by colonial architect Benjamin Mountfort for Canterbury College, later the University of Canterbury, in 1877. Damaged in the Canterbury earthquakes the Clock Tower block has been restored and fully strengthened by the Arts Centre’s team with careful attention to the minutiae of detail to ensure that its built form and patina of age have remained intact. As the entry stated the restoration has matched the Clock Tower’s “…status in civic life and communal memory.”

Domestic - Saved and Restored Award -     Proudly sponsored by: Simons Construction

Joint Winners:

RJ & BM Stewart House
Entrant: Warren & Mahoney Architects Ltd
This substantial residence designed by Helmore and Cotterill in 1934 was saved, strengthened, restored and extended, with patience and care, by the owners and architects Warren and Mahoney. Written off by insurers, the determination and skill required to not only save but improve the house and gardens is evident in the painstaking attention to detail and thoughtful integration of original fabric with new. Throughout the

three-year process taken to complete the work, the commitment to preserve and give renewed life to this significant heritage home is clearly visible.

Tunneller’s Cottage
Entrant: Brendan & Natalie Canton
The Tunneller’s Cottage owners have for a number of years been dedicated to the retention, maintenance and preservation of the cottage. A thorough research project provided a good understanding of the history of the cottage and resulted in authentic restoration
. Originally built as a tunnel day hut during the construction of the Otira tunnel the cottage continues to tell an important part of a story in Canterbury history. The owners of Tunneller’s Cottage have carefully restored it to a family living space similar to its original purpose, one that retains its heritage character and reflects its history.

Winner:

Heritage Hotel, Old Government Building (OGB)
Entrant: Heritage Christchurch
This substantial Heritage NZ category 1 Hotel opened in 1913 and designed by J C Maddison was one of the few central city buildings to survive the Canterbury earthquakes largely intact.

Its completion has been widely recognised in the media and in the tourism industry for not only the retention of the building but for the very high quality of the result. The awards jury can attest to this, using one of their luxury rooms for deliberations.
