RANGIORA
SOCIAL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
2020
This multi award-winning project involved the redevelopment of an existing site, replacing nine 1950s houses with twenty-eight one-bedroom units – the largest redevelopment undertaken by Housing New Zealand in North Canterbury.
The key design objective was to help remedy the stigma around medium density social housing developments by creating contemporary homes that integrated harmoniously with their low-density residential surroundings.
