The Community Trust Of Mid And South Canterbury by DLA Architects

ArchiPro Project Summary - A heritage re-use project that harmoniously blends classic exterior forms with a serene, light-filled interior, featuring translucent ceilings and skylights, while preserving the original structure of a circa 1890’s Category 2 listed building.

Title:: The Community Trust Of Mid And South Canterbury
Architect:: DLA Architects
Category:: Commercial/; Office
Photographers:: Brian High

Respectful of the existing fabric, this heritage re-use project blends classic exterior forms and detailing with a pared back interior.

Serene, light filled interior spaces utilise translucent ceilings and skylighting whilst selectively exposed portions of the original structure invoke reflection of a bygone era. Full structural strengthening completes the makeover of this circa 1890’s Category 2 listed building and ensures its ongoing contribution to the local historic streetscape

We are dla, creators of top notch architecture

Dickson Lonergan Architects (DLA) was founded in Whanganui in 1974 with founding partners Bruce Dickson (retired) and the late Barry Lonergan. Once fully established in the Whanganui region, DLA then started to expand the business, first into Wellington in 1999 with Barry and Glenn starting up the capital city office. Then came the Timaru Office headed up by Murray Ackroyd in 2005 and the further expansion to Hamilton in 2010 with Martin Swann.

The opportunity then arose to open an Auckland office in 2015 with Alana moving north from Wellington. Now with 5 offices, DLA has evolved from its humble beginnings into a nationwide practice, with a passionate team of architects and designers who specialise in all fields from commercial, residential, industrial, interiors, education and public projects through to DLA’s main stay of large scale dairy and food processing architecture.
