The pavilion serves as a common facility at the core of the Carters Estate Subdivision on the outskirts of Ashburton. It provides a place for residents to meet, enjoy the boardwalk and pond, have a game of tennis or practice their golf short game.

The pavilion provides kitchen and bathroom facilities in conjunction with storage for maintenance equipment for the common areas of the sub division

Continuing with the design philosophy of the Carters Estate Subdivision we chose to form the building as a throwback to Canterbury's rich post war architectural canon of work in concrete. Here shuttered concrete walls are inverted, the timber (cedar) shuttering remains and is topped by a heavy concrete perimeter beam which cantilevers out past the façade forming twin gutters that spill rainwater freely into sumps hidden within the landscaping

The form of the building is a ‘cast character’ derived from a sectional 'in between' residual space in the Christchurch Town Hall. This found space provided a tapered framed view of the pond and boardwalk. The floor of the pavilion ramps off the ground towards the window to engage the viewer with the building and the water in the distance.

Hazel Redmond — Architectural & Commercial Photographer

I am a highly experienced commercial and architectural photographer. I have collaborated with leading architects and brands across New Zealand and relish the challenge of representing their work in the very best possible light.

I am based in Hawke’s Bay but travel extensively across both islands. Capturing images that draw the viewer inside the subject is an endless source of fascination for me, and there is nothing I enjoy more than meeting new clients and seeing how we can work together.
