Christchurch City
St Marys – A Contemporary Classic
In a 1990 multi-residential complex by Peter Beaven, this two-bedroom city apartment pairs dramatic volume with the provenance of a work by one of our most celebrated legacy architects.
Beaven's courtyard plan, referencing the former Canterbury College, emphasises community and light, with block rather than stone lending an honest materiality.
Inside, a full cathedral-height ceiling, grand stair and generous mezzanine storage create a rare scale for central living. With basement car parking and open-plan living anchored by a galley kitchen, the home sits moments from the city's cultural precinct, dining and transport.
