Prestons Road New World and retail development provides a retail shopping hub servicing the needs of both the existing and growing community of Prestons Village, located on the northern edge of Christchurch City.

The 41,329m2 site, originally a rural marshland was developed to house a New World Supermarket along with 4 separate retail spaces with a total building area of 4,780m2.

The design approach for the development was to create a cohesive design that engaged with the landscape providing a pleasant shopping experience along with landscaped outdoor spaces where local community could meet, shop and socialise. This is something that had been missing from the area.

Integrated swales providing the necessary filtered stormwater catchment for the site provides a naturally landscaped visual amenity giving reference to the historical nature of the original site.

About the
Professional

For over 60 years, McCoy Wixon Architects have been designing stand-out architecture throughout the South Island of New Zealand. That experience has underlined a fact: that listening and fully understanding the client's needs determines a project's success.

McCoy Wixon Architects are known for designing exceptional residential homes, commercial buildings and educational facilities. We are a design-led practice. That means each project is conceptualised by working through a process, where design solutions address each point in the client’s brief. The result is structures that function beautifully, impact appropriately with their environment and – most importantly – fulfil (often exceed) the client’s expectations.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
