Living area of Suite 17 with timber slat wall detail, built-in shelving and soft natural light, Old Government Building Christchurch.

OGB 17

Located in Christchurch's Cathedral Square, Suite 17 in the Old Government Building is a carefully considered example of interior heritage adaptation.

The two-level short stay apartment opens to a generous terrace, with large areas of glazing connecting the interior to expansive city views.

An open, flexible plan and abundant natural light are paired with a restrained, refined material selection balancing durability with a quiet sense of luxury. Combining historic character with contemporary comfort, Suite 17 offers a sophisticated retreat in the heart of the city.
