The Canterbury Club banner

The brief was to restore the Clubhouse and to build a modern major addition that would have an ‘iconic’ presence. The promotion of the Club was a significant functional aspect of the brief. Our interpretation was to develop an interstitial form that whilst contemporary should also achieve a handsome balance between restoration of the traditional aspects of the Club. The exterior is strong in its language but is also discrete in terms of the Club's Heritage.

Ethos
The best architecture is life-enhancing and uplifting.

Alongside the visible better-known practical aspects of the Architect’s role we strive to deliver fresh, specific solutions reflecting the unique combination of influences, attitudes and forces that come to bear on each individual project. Informed original creative thinking and communication are the core professional skills at the heart of our work.

Our objective is design excellence at all levels, from concept to detail, as part of our mission to achieve lasting, well-made, built solutions. We have respect for history and the natural environment. Subtle responses to site, context and climate are important to us. The collective experience, talent and willingness within our practice is recognised as our greatest resource.

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.
