Huge congrats to Andrew, Chris, Petr, and the Raylight Aluminium team at Nulook® West Christchurch. Their outstanding regenerative work done as part of the restoration of Cotters Lane, has just been named as a Finalist in the 2026 WGANZ Design Awards (Commercial – South Island category).
This landmark Christchurch project showcases the sensitive integration of contemporary aluminium joinery within a restored heritage façade. Working closely with the architect and builder, Raylight Aluminium delivered bespoke glazing solutions – including a striking upper‑level curtain wall spanning nearly 10 metres and rising 5.2 metres – combining precision detailing, Low‑E performance glazing, and integrated aluminium louvres. Together with the reinstated Central Arcade, the project balances architectural memory, modern performance, and long‑term
Durability.
Well done to the team – this is a powerful example of craftsmanship, technical excellence, and heritage‑led regeneration in an urban context.
