New Brighton Surf.

ArchiPro Project Summary - Durable design for the New Brighton Surf Lifesaving Club, featuring concrete blockwork, lightweight timber, expansive glazing, and Acoya Acetylated Timber cladding, ensuring longevity and performance in a coastal environment.

Title:: New Brighton Surf Lifesaving Club, Christchurch
Structural Engineer:: Ruamoko
Category:: Community/; Sports and Recreation

Sited right next to an exposed surf beach, durability was a key consideration for this project – a balancing act between architectural design, maintenance and structural performance of the building materials over the building’s design life.

Construction generally consists of concrete blockwork at the ground floor, and lightweight timber to the first floor and roof. The building features large decks, expansive glazing and Acoya Acetylated Timber cladding, which has a 50 year durability guarantee.
