Christchurch’s diversity makes the city unique. The North and East Frame has been reconstructed into three precincts; Avon, Latimer and Lichfield each with their own characteristics that are already embryonically evident on the ground in Christchurch. These characteristics and personalities are transposed into the master plan and encompass a number of diverse neighbourhoods providing for multiple lifestyles.

Lichfield Precinct
A high-energy mashup of creative styles and connectivity. Avant Garde with design grit and a high octane environment – there’s always something going on. Apartment lofts and warehouse spaces create the backdrop, with a labyrinth of hidden places and urban parks.
Lichfield Precinct Massing
Memories of its light industrial past are reinterpreted into a magnetic neighbourhood of contrasts – old and new, small lanes and generous park space. Lichfield revels in its context, revealing expansive warehouse spaces, loft living and a quirky grid linking student communities, the Innovation Precinct and Strange’s lane.
