TOWNCENTREJUNCTION
Halswells town centre is a mixture of small shops,cultural and historical monuments and generous green
fields. However, with an impending large populationgrowth,these shops and plain green fields will not beasufficient form of amenity.Furthermore, does not providea pleasant environment for settlement.
1.RESIDENTIAL ZONE
Directly opposite the town centreis a low density residental zone.Much likeits neighbouringzones,it is low rise, and the built form
hasnt adapted to thechanges ofthetown centre.
4.SPORTS CLUBS
Halswells greatest attribute is
the generous amount of parksand reserves available. This hasallowed thetown to develop intoan activity and sports oriented
community.
2.ABANDONED HOUSE
An old abandoned houseand itsplot surroundings still exists in thetown centre.This has a negativeimpact on the towns image and
serves no purpose.
5.CHURCHES ANDCEMETARY
The churches and cemetary are
someof thetowns most historicalbuildings and monuments. Theyarealso religiously significant.
6.AQUATICCENTRE
The only swimming facility inHalswell is only open during thesummer (Nov.- Feb.). It providesa heated pool with 8lanes and a
toddlers pool.

CYCLISTS FREQUENCY+ROAD SPEED
The speed limit in Halswell is on average 60km/h because of itsrural location. This speed is quite high for such a dense populatedresidential area wherethere is a number ofretired peopleand chil-dren. Additionally there is a lack of pedestrians which makes road
crossingvery dangerous.

GROWTH +INTERNAL MIGRATION
Halswell is a sought after placeto live in.Its close proximityto both the Port Hills and inner city, has an attractive
semi-rural outlook and a village atmosphere.This hasmade Halswell a very attractive town for young familiesand workingindividuals to settle whilemaintaining easy
access to thecity centre.
The Christchurch City Council (CCC) has opened alarge amount of green field sites for development in the
Halswell region. The land is considerably more stableand is also closeproximity to thecity centre(8km).
Halswell will almost tripleits population over the next 30years. From todays 5,000 households, the suburb will
increaseto nearly 14,000homes by the year 2041.The extent and timing of household growth is
dependent on the greenfield developments.Comparison with Christchurch-wide householdchange shows how extraordinary the populationincreasewill bein Halswell.

Introduction
The design challenge is located in Halswell, south west of the Christchurch City Centre.It is setto becomeone of the busiest suburbs in Christchurch by 2030with more than 40,826 people,
14,000 homes, and one of the fastest growing area in the city.At present, it has a populationof 14,680 and 6,000 homes. Thelocal lifestylehas a strongsense of community with emphasison community events. There are also an abundance of recreational and sports opportunitiesin Halswell. Geographically,it is surrounded by generous green fields on theeast and west that
contributes to Halswells rural and suburban character. Halswell is in theliving 1 zone low den-sity development wherethere is a largeamount of open space with a sitecoverage of 35-40%dependingon building height.Theprevious earthquakes did not significantly affected Halswell.
Current Halswell Town Centre
From our research and site visits, we have identified anumber of problematic issues that can be resolved bythoughtful architectural design. The current Halswell towncentre consists of a supermarket and a limited number
of retail stores with no public gathering spaces, while thebusy Halswell Road cuts across residential homes andthe town centrewith no pedestrian path ways. This is dan-
gerous and discourages pedestrians from gathering inthe town centre.People mainly shop at nearby shopping
malls such as theHornby Mall, Barrington Mall or theTower Junction Mega Centre.The Halswelltown centreneeds to be developed for local shopper convenienceand needs to provideattrac-
tivegathering spaces for thecommunity.
Transport and Cyclists
There are 3 frequent bus routes in Halswell; route 7 to Queens Park, route 60 to New Brightonand route M (Metro) to Upper Riccarton. Both route 7 and 60 passes through the CBD. All buses
overlaps at theHalswell centre.
Cycling also appeared to be quite popular in Halswell due to flat geographic. However public
transport and cyclists are not prioritized as there are no bus lanes. Resident complained aboutlate buses and insecurity when cycling.Going to other parts of the Christchurch will need to inter-changebus at theCBDbus station.
A majority ofpeople take drive cars as a result ofi nconvenient public transport system for travel-lingto longdistances.
HousingTypologies and Demographics
Based on our research, there is also a mismatch between Halswell demographics and the cur-
rently available housing typologies. Theresearch showed that there is 74% of 3 bedroom houseswith only 4% apartments and 9%town houses,while42% of thepopulation are couples withoutchildren and 19%are singles. Obviously a large number people areforced to livein 3 bedroomhouses due to lack of choice. Additionally, 60% of people only stay in Haswell for 1-4 years,
which indicates that Haslwell could bea stepping stone for somenew arrivals to Christchurch. Anew housingtypology is also needed to accommodatethesepeople.By combining the aboveissues, rather than expandingoutwards, a more creating vibrant town
centre will capturemore consumers and enhance Halswells local commerce.My goal is to intro-duce a new housing typology at the town centre that will accommodate couples without childrenand single people, while providing meaningful and enjoyable social spaces that will increaseHalswell residents quality oflife.
SiteDescription
The chosen site is located at the Halswell Centre at the corner of Halswell Road and NichollsRoad. Opposite the Centre on Halswell Road is the Haswell Domain, which is Haswells sportsground.Thetotal sitearea is 12,940m2 .
