South Brighton Surf Lifesaving Club, Christchurch
By Ruamoko
The South Brighton Surf Lifesaving Club is a two-storey redevelopment set in sand dunes on the the original surf club site. The club opened in 2021 and has quickly become a much-loved asset to the South Brighton community.
The construction generally consists of concrete blockwork to the ground floor and lightweight timber framed structure for the first floor and roof, and a concrete mid-floor with timber decking.
Designing for durability formed a key part of the project – finding the balance of architectural design with maintenance and structural performance of the building materials over the building’s design life.
