Peter’s time with Warren and Mahoney has been marked by unwavering dedication, thoughtful leadership, and significant achievement. His life and career are so deeply interwoven with the practice that his contribution will continue to positively impact our work for years to come.
One of his earliest and most formative projects saw him working directly with Maurice Mahoney as project architect on the Christchurch Park Royal Hotel. When it opened in 1988, it was one of the largest design and construction projects ever undertaken in the city.
Since then, Peter has made a remarkable impact on our built environment, taking a leading role on projects including the Christchurch Blueprint, the Town Hall restoration, Te Pae Convention Centre, Memorial Bridge, and many others.
