Knox Church, Christchurch

Hawkins Heritage & Adaptive Reuses Award – Excellence Award Historic Knox Church was rebuilt following the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes. Much of the heritage value of the interior has been retained, including the largely intact timber roof structure, arches and posts. Judges’ Comments The heritage interior is cloaked with a new exterior, built using resilient modern building techniques. This is an exceptional rebuild – an excellent example of new blending with old.
