"A beautifully crafted and elegant structure at one level appears extraterrestrial yet clearly acknowledges the terrestrial narrative of the post-war concrete modernist buildings of Canterbury. The external form-making is sculptural, providing an anchor to the community leisure activities of the subdivision, and acting as a sentinel to the boardwalk and pond it overlooks. A tapered viewing window belies the heavy parentage of the structure and is a seductive in promoting engagement with pond from the interior. The inverted detailing of the concrete shuttered walls with cedar shutters intact provides a tactility and warmth that contrasts with the strength of the concrete perimeter beams hovering above."
