ADNZ CEO, Keryn Davis, said the Canterbury region continues to dominate the ADNZ awards.
“Year after year the Canterbury region performs and brings home many awards. There are several reasons for this, including the opportunities designers have benefited from during the rebuild environment, the level of talent coming out of Ara Institute of Canterbury and a significant prioritization of ADNZ membership in the region. The Canterbury region has built a strong and committed group of designers. Congratulations to all the winners.
All winners of regional awards are finalists in the National ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Awards. The national winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on 27 October in Wellington.
