Youth Hub recognised at NZ Timber Design Awards

Congratulations to our outstanding build partners on receiving a Highly Commended in the Abodo Sustainable Development Award category at the 2026 New Zealand Timber Design Awards.

It's a fitting acknowledgement of the vision and collaboration that brought the Youth Hub to life.

From the outset, we wanted to create more than just a building. We wanted a place that would serve young people for generations to come and one that reflects our commitment to sustainability, community and the wellbeing of rangatahi.

A huge congratulations to Field Studio of Architecture + Urbanism, Lewis Bradford Consulting Engineers, and Naylor Love Canterbury on your vision and craftsmanship. 

We're incredibly proud to see your work recognised on the national stage and thank you for helping to create a place where young people can connect, belong and thrive.
