Judges’ comments
This state of the art building is a fully serviced surgical unit consisting of two operating theatres, a large pre-operative area, post- operative rooms, recovery spaces, reception, administration and consultancy spaces and office areas.
Quietly nestled into a residential area of Christchurch on Papanui Rd, this commercial building could easily be mistaken for a stunning home.
Built on TC3 land requiring a two metre gravel raft with rib raft concrete floor slab, the workmanship on the cedar cladding is of a very high standard.
A carefully considered architectural design that sits in absolute harmony with the surrounding residential environment proving that health facilities need not adhere to the somewhat clinical and cold designs of the past.
