Quill Lane Couch Conversations: A nod to the past 🪶🧱
For the final episode of the series, we're back with Abdallah and Trevor, talking about the rich industrial heritage of the Quill Lane site, and why honouring this history matters.
Digging into the site's past, the team discovered a brick kiln buried beneath it. This became one of the key inspirations for Quill Lane, from the permanent, characterful use of brick (a rare sight in the CBD) to the local clays that tie the development back to its roots.
It's all about reinstating heritage lost over time, and telling a story that the people of Christchurch feel a real connection to.
