Treshna Enterprises wanted a home for its growing technology business on a compact, awkward site in central Christchurch. The result is a seven-storey mixed-use building on a nine-sided section of just 348 square metres, with ground-floor retail, five levels of office and a penthouse apartment above. Each office floor is configured differently, tailored to the way particular teams work, so no two levels are the same.

The building's folded, raking glass façade and intersecting angled planes demanded bespoke engineering and a precisely sequenced build to hold weather-tightness and tolerances at every junction. RCP managed the project for Treshna from design through construction, working through demanding ground conditions that cost early time and through client-directed upgrades to the upper-floor fitouts. A single, carefully positioned tower crane let the build proceed safely on a site with almost no room to work.

A structure reaching over the footpath and a raised deck open the building to the street, lifting passive surveillance and street life while nodding to the scale and materials of its heritage neighbours. It reached completion in 2025 as a durable, adaptable workplace, its services run through open ceilings and controlled remotely so each floor can change as the business does.
