Christchurch International Airport
By Sheppard & Rout Architects
Sheppard & Rout have completed numerous projects at Christchurch International Airport for both the Airport and associated airlines such as Air New Zealand, and continue to do so.
The most notable project has been the CIAL International Terminal project, where Sheppard & Rout worked in associated with Melbourne-based Hassell Architects from 1995 – 1998. Masterplanning was undertaken to understand the needs of an endlessly changing demands of the aviation industry and increasing passenger numbers. A design was then developed for a new international terminal and associated airside and landside facilities.
In late 2003 it was realised that with the large growth of international passengers dictated the need for an expansion of the International Departure Lounge. The brief requested legible circulation and the further ability to expand, while meeting the many constraints of aircraft parking, security requirements and available building area.

About the
Professional
We aim to produce humanist architecture comprised of stimulating and inspirational spaces and places.
We are a design-based practice that believes in providing tailor-made solutions to an individual client's needs. The fundamental objective of the practice is to develop architecture that is appropriate to its specific site, wider context and intended use while being robust, flexible and environmentally-aware.
These variables are used along with the appropriate structural considerations to develop buildings with well-suited form and style, instead of approaching the design from a stylistic standpoint.
The practice was established in 1982 in Christchurch by David Sheppard and Jonty Rout. In its 40 years the practice has carried out a wide range of projects covering many types and in numerous geographic locations. The founding partners brought to the practice extensive design and construction experience gained while working with other offices in both New Zealand and overseas. Tim Dagg joined Sheppard & Rout in 1986 and Jasper van der Lingen in 1993 and they both joined David Sheppard as Directors in 2006.
With David Sheppard now retired and Jonty very sadly passed away the practice is led by Directors Jasper van der Lingen and Tim Dagg and three Associate Directors; Matt Gutsell, Jonathan Kennedy and Steven Orr.
