We are thrilled to be the architects behind the transformation of the iconic Noahs / Rydges Hotel in Christchurch!
From its stunning modernist façade to its famous circular stair, every corner of the hotel tells a story of heritage and innovation.
The refurbished hotel will again become the talk of the city, boasting new guest rooms, new restaurant and a roof top bar.
The new bar will be the highest in Christchurch, offering panoramic views of the city, the Port Hills and the Southern Alps.
We are excited to be partnering with Mainland Capital and Russell Property Group to bring this project to fruition. Together, we are shaping the future while respecting the past.
Here's a short video showcasing the former Noah's Hotel and its historical background, alongside its exciting future. We look forward to sharing more updates as this landmark project evolves as 'Project Ark'.
