A great result at the recent Nelson & Marlborough Architecture Awards 2026, with two projects we’ve been involved in taking out awards 🙌

Tinline's Development on Bridge Street (Irving Smith Architects) and Bunk, Bath and Beyond in Renwick (Shaw & Shaw Architects) both showcase the strength of collaboration and great design thinking.

Congratulations to everyone involved - proud to have played a part.

🚧 Site Progress Update – Latimer Church, Rosebank

Significant progress on site at the Latimer Church build. A recent construction monitoring visit shows the building really beginning to take shape, with the architectural curves now clearly visible and the building’s form becoming more defined on site. Driveway works are also underway, marking another milestone as this project continues to come together.

We’ll be based in the Ernest Rutherford Building with a building challenge ready to go - and yes, there’s a Lego Artemis set up for grabs 🚀

Swing by, test your skills, and see how you stack up.
We’d love to meet you!

Office with a view - just not the usual one for Emily lately. A site visit at Wainui, with a brief pause to take in the surroundings and enjoy a coffee break. A stunning autumn day on Banks Peninsula.

After many years working side by side with DLA Architects in Timaru, it was great for Damian and Keanu to take Murray Ackroyd out last week to wish him well for his retirement. Murray has been a constant presence in our shared office for close to two decades, with Damian having the privilege of sharing a workspace with him for most of that time.

Over the years, we’ve really valued Murray’s experience, calm perspective, and the easy collegiality he brought to the day‑to‑day - the kind that makes a shared office feel like one team rather than two firms.

We look forward to continuing that relationship with Chris Greenfield as he steps into Murray’s role.

Thanks Murray - it’s been a pleasure working alongside you. Enjoy retirement, you’ve more than earned it.😄

A day in the life at Structex 👀

Yesterday afternoon, one of our engineers, Josh, headed out to Lanyon & Le Compte’s precast yard to carry out panel inspections for the new Timaru Museum. With consent and shop drawing reviews complete, it was time for inspections ahead of concrete pours and the panels being trucked down to Timaru. From reinforcement detailing to weld plates and formwork, it’s all about making sure everything is spot‑on before things move to the next stage. There’s nothing quite like seeing a design come to life on the factory floor.
